AGES OF THE MOON
By Pulitzer Prize Winning Playwright, Sam Shepard

Lonesome Moon Productions, with the support of Presentation House Theatre, is proud to present Pulitzer Prize winning playwright, Sam Shepard’s affecting, darkly funny and gruffly poignant play, AGES OF THE MOON, from Wednesday, October 26th to Sunday, November 6th, 2016.

This moving, immersive meditation on aging and loss tells the story of Byron and Ames, two old friends reunited by mutual desperation on the eve of a lunar eclipse. Over whiskey on a hot summer’s night, hostilities erupt, subside and flare again as each man’s loneliness and despair fights with his longing for connection. Before the evening is out, fifty years of love, friendship and rivalry will be put to the test. With the waxing and waning of the lunar cycle becoming a brilliant metaphor for the ebb and flow of life, Byron and Ames take an emotional journey as the Earth’s shadow falls across the surface of the moon.

Two highly regarded veteran actors of Canadian theatre, Alec Willows (as Byron) and Jon Bryden (as Ames), are joined by a talented team of award-winning designers and led by award-winning director, John Cooper, in presenting this powerful piece by one of America’s leading dramatists. Don’t miss this stellar production! Tickets on sale now!
