Pale Moon
Offering a beautiful mixture of text and physical performance from Edinburgh’s newest resident theatre company, Cathartic Connections. Blood-pumping theatre, exploring the nature of ordinary people who have been let down and stamped on by their government. Following the story of two neighbours, Buck and Arth, ordinary men who have been changed by extraordinary circumstances. The year is 20YAEF (Years After Economic Fall) and the world is run by rats (or businessmen acting like rats). There is little or no money left, and that changes a person. The Bible says ‘love thy neighbor’ Buck says ‘give me more!’

Play description
One of the newest Edinburgh-based theatre companies – Cathartic Connections – debut their show Pale Moon at this year’s Fringe.
ritten and directed by local playwright and performer Andy Henry, Pale Moon is set in a dystopian world twenty years after the fall of the world economy. Rat-like businessmen run the world and hold onto the scarce supply of money. Neighbours Buck and Arth struggle to survive in this climate, ordinary people trying to cope against extraordinary circumstance.
This powerful and physical piece features a cast of five and examines how people react and change when money has all but vanished.
An opportunity to sample some home-grown theatre amongst the huge worldwide choice available at the Fringe, Pale Moon looks to be well worth checking out.
