IN THIS single act piece, the audience appears to enter the mind of a grief-wracked man, sharing his distorted view of the world as he tries to make sense of his loss.

We first meet him at the edge of the sea, staring into the horizon as if he has not quite decided whether to wade into oblivion.

ŠHe is rescued by a stranger, who takes him to his own home and, with the help of a young woman, attempts to bring about his recovery. Or so it seems.

Š The play opens well, with suspense building over the ambiguous motives of his supposed good Samaritans whose personalities soon appear as fractured as that of the man they are trying to help,

ŠThere are touching moments - the young man’s stream of consciousness-style description of a life hypnotised by grief; the Christmas dinner he has cooked for self-redemption, although it is February, and carried with him in a plastic bag.Š

As a play about warped realities, The Moon The Moon does not settle easily into a single interpretation. And while it’s certainly thought provoking, it feels more like a series of fragmented ideas than a cohesive whole.
