Object description

"By Marie Jones

Directed by Gary Whitaker

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"
