Dark of the Moon
Book by Jonathan Prince
Music & Lyrics by Dave Bassett, Lindy Robbins and Steve Robson
DARK OF THE MOON is a supernatural tale of witchcraft, small-town prejudices, forbidden romance and the power of faith. This timeless, spellbinding new musical portrays the clash of two dynamically polarized worlds—a charming rural Appalachian town and the mystical world of witches and warlocks from the Smoky Mountains that loom high above. And the show’s unique musical score reflects those conflicting worlds as the humans sing country/bluegrass while the witches sing rock. Two young lovers—a human girl and a sexy warlock—find each other and defy their communities’ entrenched prejudices to build a life together. But, with that, they must face a heartbreaking ultimatum, because although true love can heal a great divide...sometimes it is the cause.

"Georgie Rankcom’s direction is by far the strongest element of the evening, with stage movement so fluid and sharply constructed that even scenes lacking emotional momentum remain visually compelling." - WHATSONSTAGE
