BLOOD MOON takes place in the early 1980s in New York City. It is based on a TRUE STORY. The play begins when Manya, 19 and a college senior arrives with her sole surviving family (Uncle Gregory) at the swank New York apartment of Gregory's friend Alan who is immediately attracted to Manya, and she's intrigued by him: an older man who's suave, cynical and charismatic. The New York Times said of the play “it is cleanly and clearly plotted right up to its haunting conclusion.”
