The Half Moon
Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2023 @ Pleasance
Presented by the Lyric Belfast, Pleasance & Thistle And Rose Arts
Four women. Four generations. One Belfast family fighting for freedom and future.
In a ferociously optimistic tale of home and hope, we meet Ethel, Jeanette, Sarah and Pam, each trapped by the narrow streets and looming mountain of Tiger’s Bay. None of them had the chance to leave until now. Pam may have broken the cycle and followed her dream of a life elsewhere but can she ever truly escape her ancestry? And does she want to? There are stories of battle, passion and hope still demanding to be told.
