There’s no official content warning on
The Moth but you might want to be a bit careful. It’s a brilliant play
but if you’re a big sensitive about war stories and death, you might be better
off giving this one a miss. On the other hand, if you are okay with that sort
of thing, I really hope you’ll give it a watch.
The Moth is a monologue, written by Paul Herzberg and
directed by Jake Murray. A man, John, sits in his kitchen. A clock just over
his shoulder shows the time to be just after ten past five. It’s quite dark but
not too dark. It could be my device of course but some stories can be more
easily told if it’s a little bit dark. Just enough to make you feel a little
bit more hidden. Or maybe John has been talking for a while, working up to
telling his story, his words so compelling, nobody has thought of switching the
light on.
