The Pendulum Moon is a ghost story about early 20th-century Irish immigrants putting down roots in Summit Hill, a coal-mining town in Pennsylvania. As the daughter waits for her father to return, anxiety and monotony become dark fancies. Her mother, seemingly more practical, veers into the realm of superstition: signs that, this night, her husband will not return from the mines.
Druid Debuts offers a unique opportunity to experience brand new plays fresh off the page and to share an open discussion with the writer, director and cast.
Each summer, the selected playwrights are provided with professional support, a director, cast and space in which to develop their script to a rehearsed reading level. After the reading, audience feedback is invited as a means of further development.
