GEST is delighted to present the Scandinavian premiere of Fly Me To The Moon by Marie Jones, opening at our new theatre at Chapmans Torg 7 November 2012.
A hilarious new black comedy from the award-winning writer of Stones in His Pockets. The award-winning playwright Marie Jones also wrote Stones in His Pockets that GEST had a hugh success with in 2009.
“I dream about money Francis, do you? … Maybe people like us aren’t meant to have that kind of money.”
Davy Magee, 84, leads a lonely life whose only regular company are care workers Loretta and Francis. When he unexpectedly dies one day leaving an unclaimed pension the carers find themselves facing a moral dilemma.
“We clean up piss and shit for 6 quid an hour. They owe us that money”
With few opportunities and unemployed husbands the women make decisions, which escalate events beyond their control.
Performing dates: 7 November- 7 December 2012.
Director: Gary Whitaker
Cast: Francis: Antoinette Morelli, Loretta: Emma Deegan" [GEST:s hemsida]
