Written and performed by Kirsten Luckins
Directed by Matt Cummins
Tabla arranged and performed by Martin Douglas

After 16 years, Kirsten Luckins re-read her India journals only to realise that encountering a former self is just as shocking as getting lost in another culture.

The Moon Cannot be Stolen takes its title from a zen fable which may or may not be about the search for the authentic self. Let’s say it is. Let’s say that the show is about the same subject. Part dark travelogue, part metaphysical enquiry, inspired by travel diaries re-examined in the cold light of relative maturity - expect poetry, anecdote and even a spot of Tarot-reading. The past really is another country…


“The Moon Cannot Be Stolen is the best show I’ve seen in six years on the fringe. The show I wish I’d written, you’ll leave feeling inspired, energised and ready to tackle the world. Redbull, in theatre form, with no health risk.” Sophia Walker, BBC Slam Champion 2013
