The Moth
Acclaimed Elysium Theatre Company return after their celebrated 50th Anniversary production of 'The Island' in 2024 with a drama by Paul Herzberg that will grip you from the beginning and not let go.
A thriller that deals with the legacy of history, the power of our actions and the limits of forgiveness.
1994: 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 forever.
2025: the two men gather to share their story.
Originally developed from a ten-minute video monologue which has since had over 30,000 views, it was selected for 26 festivals across the world, winning the Kwanzaa Film Festival Best Monologue Award in New York City.
The stage version took the North by storm on tour in 2025, playing to packed houses at venues including Live Theatre Newcastle, the Lowry Salford and Shakespeare North in Liverpool, it received rave reviews, and won actor Micky Cochrane the award for Best Performance at the North-East Culture Theatre Awards for his portrayal of Marius.
The Moth includes a brief cameo by Bridgerton star, Adjoa Andoh as the voice of John Josana’s mother, Joy.
