Elysium Theatre Company present the world premiere of THE MOTH a new play by Paul Herzberg "You think you know me. You don't. So its time to talk.” 1997: a chance meeting on a train between two men, John, a black British activist and journalist and Marius, a white South African ex-soldier, sets in motion a chain of events that will change their lives for decades to come. 2025: the two men gather to share their story. Based on an award-winning short monologue that has been seen all over the world, THE MOTH is a thriller that deals with war, race, the legacy of history, the consequences of our actions, the quest for redemption and the limits of forgiveness. Award-winning Elysium Theatre company take to the road again after their sell-out northern tour of 'Othello' with a drama that will grip you from the beginning and not let go. “This company can simply do no wrong.” Reviewer Number 9 www.elysiumtc.co.uk SUPPORTED BY THE ARTS COUNCIL OF ENGLAND
