THE OLD MAN AND THE OLD MOON
A New Play With Music
By PigPen Theatre Co.
Directed by Associate Artistic Director Stuart Carden and PigPen Theatre Co.

Writers Theatre invites you to dive headlong into a theatrical fable that celebrates the power of imagination! THE OLD MAN AND THE OLD MOON creates an epic new mythology, centered on a man whose job is to collect spilled light to refill the leaking moon. When his wife unexpectedly leaves home in pursuit of much-needed adventure, he abandons his post to follow her, throwing the world into chaos as he searches for his lost love, his fading memory and, ultimately, himself. A blend of resonant storytelling, spirited indie-folk music and inventive puppetry creates a theatrical experience that will win you over with its wit, style and depth of emotion.

Writers Theatre is thrilled to collaborate with the young men of PigPen Theatre Co., who bring the story of THE OLD MAN AND THE OLD MOON to such brilliant, vibrant life that its New York production earned a coveted spot on multiple "Best of the Year" lists.
