The Moth

Acclaimed Elysium Theatre Company return after their celebrated 50th Anniversary production of 'The Island' in 2024 with a drama by Paul Herzberg that will grip you from the beginning and not let go.

1994: a chance meeting on a train between two men, John, a black British activist and journalist and Marius, a white South African ex-soldier, sets in motion a chain of events that will change their lives forever.

2025: the two men gather to share their story.

Based on an award-winning short monologue that has been seen all over the world, 'The Moth' is a thriller that deals with the legacy of history, the power of our actions and the limits of forgiveness.
