Publisher's Synopsis
Set in the mid-1980s in a small city in the desert of Southeast New Mexico, this powerful and intense drama is based on an actual incident. Joe, a photographer, while grappling with his identity as a gay man, is suddenly thrown into a nightmare world when he is wrongly accused of criminal sexual contact with a minor. The story follows seven months of his life as he struggles to overcome his obstacles. Dream sequences and flashbacks take the audience on a surreal journey through the nightmare world of the inner-self juxtaposed with the hostile environment in which Joe finds himself."The Moon Away is amazing and beautiful. It feels real. It is a show that challenges, engages, moves, and uplifts the viewer. I have never seen an audience hold their breath like they have for this piece. The audience hangs on every word and image. This comes from great writing . . . passion permeates throughout The Moon Away."
