An unsettling, powerful new piece of theatre tackling pornography and violence against women.

Juniper is looking for love, Robert is trying to avoid it, Ollie doesn’t know what it is and Meg has resigned herself to never having it. As these four people move through a July day in London, they orbit each other, unaware that they are hurtling towards one moment that could devastate them all.

Many Moons opened at groundbreaking Theatre 503 in summer 2011.
