Barbarous Nights, A Drama in Four Shades & A Prologue, Grapefruit Tumblewee…The Great Green Moonis a sharp and surreal play inspired in part by the love letters of Lorca and Dalí.
Buster Keaton falls out of his film and into a poetic world, a 1930s both future and past. Grapefruit roll through the sand like tumbleweed. The streets are filled with optical shops. There, a rush of travelers -- a blind maiden struggling with the length of her dress, her nigh Victorian mother, a ridiculously attractive man peddling feathers -- float through Buster's nights like a dream as his sanity and the stoic stone face that made him famous start to crumble.

The directorial elegance of Teff Nichols and aesthetically corrupt choreography & movement by
Grace Courvoisier & Taylor Donofrio, come to the fore in this adamantly honest interpretation
of the original text. Beautifully designed raw sound and space installation by Jonathan Cottle,
Ryan Maeker and Colleen Toole.
“My mother fit words together that did not belong together, like heart-flesh, like
night-song.”
