The Moth

World Premiere
A new play by Paul Herzberg
Inspired by a true story

with Faz Singhateh as John and Micky Cochrane as Marius

"You think you know me. You don't. So it's time to talk.”

1997: 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 war, race, the legacy of history, the power of our actions, the quest for redemption and the limits of forgiveness...

The performance on Friday 28 February will be followed by a post-show discussion with Elysium Artistic Director, Jake Murray.

Praise for Elysium’s recent sell-out tour of Othello...
