The Moon Lies Fair Lowery Christopher Collins

Drama-- 5 Males/6 Females/ 1 Offstage Female Voice-- Reno has a lot going for him. He's popular, he's charming, he has great friends, he's a successful artist, and he owns a nice home. However, when he learns he has terminal testicular cancer, his whole world comes crashing down on him. On top of that, he is visited by his cold, selfish family who squanders their last chance to make amends. Filled with colorful characters and loving hearts, The Moon Lies Fair, whose title is an allusion to Matthew Arnold's "Dover Beach," explores what it means to face one's own mortality and what it means to come face-to-face with the mortality of those we love. A testament to true friendship, this play shows that family shouldn't always be defined by blood. Note: This play deals with sensitive topics, from which it never hides, but they are addressed in an extremely professional, delicate, and respectable manner.
