Something stirs in the darkness, a shadow cast under a pale moon, branches snap and break as a monstrous force tears through the underbrush towards its prey. A woman screams, fleeing into the forest, her companion is not so quick. Carnage, horror, the beast has struck again. These lonely places are haunted by an ancient presence, a malevolent creature born of a terrible curse. Two men stand between the monster and the world come to fear it. Two men who have dedicated their lives to the hunting of such a beast. They are on the trail now, pausing only occasionally for tea, a bit of a poem, maybe to sketch an interesting drooping toadstool. They are drawing closer, and the outcome will forever change their lives and all those around them. An original comedy and West Coast premiere.
The Moonrisers work to create exciting, accessible theatre. The company prides itself on creating new, original works, rarely producing the same play twice. Led by a talented cast including 2016 Theatre Bay Area Award Winner Christian Haines*, playwright Christopher Magee, and San Francisco Bay Area Critics Circle Award Winner Robyn Grahn.
