Annex Theatre Company opens the season with a world premiere directed by Christopher Comte. The Moon Is A Dead World opens on Friday, October 17, 2008 and runs through November 15, 2008.
Mike Daisey weaves a vision of the brutal history of the Soviet space program with an unbelievable premise: a dead cosmonaut is called back down to Earth on a radio wave when Americans in a remote Arctic base hear the beating of his dying heart. A dark and hilarious fairy tale set against the Cold War, it asks what we risk in the struggle between will and humanity, and what it means to love beyond death itself.
The New York Times has called playwright Mike Daisey “one of the finest solo performers of his generation.”
The Annex Theatre is located at 1100 E Pike Street, a few doors down from Purr Cocktail Lounge and tickets to this performance are just $12 or less.
