MOTH

A fast, funny and heart-breaking story about two young people with nowhere to go.

“Heaven is a trillion light years away. And that's a lot of dark matter, a lot of sin between us...”

Sebastian doesn’t fit in. He smells. He’s obsessed with apocalyptic anime, and he talks to himself.

After a catastrophic fallout with his only friend, Claryssa, he wakes up with an avenging moth in a jar by his bed, and a calling to save the souls of all humanity. So begins the Passion of Sebastian: a journey into a terrifying and starless night.

This was a Northern UK premiere for Declan Greene, one of Australia's foremost emerging playwrights, supported by Arts Council England, the Fidelio Trust, O2 Think Big and the University of Manchester.
