Elysium Theatre Company present the world premiere of

THE MOTH - a new play by Paul Herzberg.


Inspired by a true story, it stars Faz Singhateh and Micky Cochrane.


"You think you know me. You don't. So it’s time to talk.”


1997: a chance meeting on a train between two men, John, a  black British activist and journalist and Marius, a white South African ex-soldier, sets in motion a chain of events that will change their lives for decades to come.


2025: the two men gather to share their story.


Based on an award-winning short monologue that has been seen all over the world, 'The Moth' is a thriller that deals with war, race, history, the consequences of our actions, the quest for redemption and the limits of forgiveness.


There will be a special Q&A after the show with the company.
