Synopsis: What happens when an Owl Moon rises? The everyday world veers into
extremities – hot blood spurts and passions seep into a wintry landscape
of cold and desolation. Two couples venture into a desolate, frozen
snowfield for the night where they find themselves trapped, both
physically and in the mire of their own neurosis. Lisa is determined to
win back her ex, Isaac, and will stop at nothing to do so. Shell and
Salome carry weighty sacks across the snow, looking for a way to purge
their sins. The play follows this group of characters through conflicts
and collisions that stretch taut conventions of style and tone. Is it
possible to lose oneself? To lose oneself in another? Owl Moon examines
the fine line between passion and obsession, and the toll it takes on
the mind and spirit. Add in a talking owl, and you have a play that
juggles the heady, humorous and harrowing in equal measure.
