Greta Hanssen's funny, furious debut play charts a single night in The Half Moon — the last remaining pub in a fictional Pennine mill town facing its final last orders.
As regulars drift in and the landlord serves what he suspects will be his final round, old grudges, new confessions, and the unfinished business of a whole community spill out. Part state-of-the-nation, part community wake, it's a love letter to small-town Yorkshire from one of our most exciting new voices.
Directed by Common Wealth's Rhiannon White, The Half Moon has its premiere at Moorside Town Hall before touring to Hull Truck Theatre and Leeds Playhouse in the autumn.
