DARK OF THE MOON, set in America’s Appalachian Mountains in the 1930’s, has a Romeo and Juliet theme telling the story of two star-crossed lovers. Instead of the Montagues and Capulets, the conflict is between the humans of Buck Creek and the supernatural world of witches. Witch Boy John falls in love with Barbara Allen, a beautiful human. The lovers desire only to love each other and live a happy simple life, but they are caught between the opposing worlds. This is a large cast production with 25 characters. The play has considerable humour as well as compelling drama. It leaves audiences ideas of tolerance and justice challenged.
