Moth (2011)

By Declan Greene

15 June 2011 – 25 June 2011 Beckett Theatre

Malthouse Theatre, Arena Theatre Company,

Commision Theatre Remount Collaboration

Sebastian is a terminally unpopular fifteen-year-old suburban kid, with an overactive imagination and an obsession with anime and death. His only friend, Claryssa, is an emo Wiccan art-freak barely one rung higher than Sebastian on the social ladder.

What starts as just another night drinking down at the cricket nets soon gives way to an ecstatic vision that leaves Sebastian unconscious, their friendship left in ruin. The next morning, he wakes up with a mysterious moth in a jar by his bed, and a calling to save the souls of all humankind. And so begins the Passion of Sebastian.

This production also toured to the Brisbane Powerhouse (3-6 August).
