Drinks and light fare provided. Wine donated by Sage Hayward Vineyard.

About the play:

In a Mughlai restaurant in Toronto, a late-night visit from a mysterious stranger rattles the cage and shatters the peace. Now the restaurant’s employee Ayub must face reality, the family he’s left behind, and the dreams he’s abandoned, all while keeping the restaurant shiningly clean.

Behind the Moon is an achingly beautiful story of love and loss, freedom and faith, the meaning of brotherhood, and how we begin a new life.

Review:

“Don't be surprised if, after seeing Anosh Irani's fine new play, Behind the Moon (✭✭✭✭), you find its characters haunting you afterwards… Filled with symbols and yet rooted in the problems of the everyday, Behind the Moon casts a long, powerful shadow that is hard to forget.” Glenn Sumi, So Sumi
