Synopsis

"St Sebastian breaks into a trillion tiny pieces, these pieces of light, flapping against the dark. And they're screaming, and they're all around me. Clouds of dust rise as they swarm... Moths."

.A fast, furious and heartbreaking theatrical two-hander that contains great monologues, scenes and duologues for young actors, exploring themes of friendship, bullying, mental illness and the hierarchy of the school playground

By turns dark and shimmering, Moth is a fast, funny and heartbreaking story about two young people with nowhere to go.

Sebastian is "that kid" at high school. He's weird. He smells. He's obsessed with comics, and talks to himself. But after a catastrophic fallout with his only friend, Claryssa, he wakes up with a moth in a jar by his bed, and a calling to save the souls of all humanity. And so begins the Passion of Sebastian: a journey into a terrifying and starless night.

Declan Greene's play Moth was first produced by Arena Theatre and Malthouse Theatre at the CUB Malthouse Theatre, Melbourne, in May 2010. It was premiered in the UK at HighTide Festival and the Bush Theatre, London, in 2013.
