Luna Gale

Luna Gale is multi award winning Rebecca Gilman's latest play to be premiered in the UK. The Glory Of Living (Pulitzer Prize Finalist, The Evening Standard Award for Most Promising Playwright and The George Devine Award), The Sweetest Swing In Baseball, Spinning Into Butter And Boy Gets Girl (Olivier nominated for Best New Play) previously received their UK premieres at The Royal Court to great critical acclaim.

Caroline Cox has been working in The Department Of Human Services for twenty five years. She thinks she has a typical case on her hands when she meets troubled teenagers Peter and Karlie , the parents of newborn Luna Gale. But as she digs deeper she discovers an array of unspoken motives amongst all the parties with an interest in Luna's future. Who is right and who is wrong? Everbody believes they offer the best solution, even though their positions are diametrically opposed..and Caroline has sole responsiliblity for determining the correct outcome.

Gilman's enthralling and sharply witty drama keeps us guessing right up to its unexpected climax: with events ever accelerating and Caroline uncovering more of the truth, her conclusions begin to look startingly unconventional - even to her.
