The Captive Moon (and Other Celestial Stories) is an original, Commedia dell’Arte-influenced play with music, inspired by Italo Calvino's collection of short stories Cosmicomics. Hop in your rowboat and travel to the Moon with Soft Brain Theatre Company! When a young boy discovers his great-great-great-uncle's biggest secret, they do the unthinkable: get in the old rowboat, and take a trip to the Moon. Clowns, conspiracy theorists and catapulting Moon Cheese provide the comic relief as the story explores the loss of wonder and how to get your shine back.
