About Simply Surreal
Simply Surreal return to the Edinburgh Fringe with Moonswing, a revival of their debut play, updated and reworked for this run at Willow Studio. The play follows Leanne, Lucy and Richard, who grew up together wondering about the moon and made a childhood promise to one day live there. As their lives unfold before the audience, they grow older, always together and always watched over by the moon. The show runs for 60 minutes, is suitable for ages 12 and above, and contains distressing themes alongside moments of warmth and comedy.
Why see this show?
A company returning to the play that started it all — updated, reworked and arriving with the perspective of ten years behind them. Moonswing's blend of sweetness and distress gives it genuine emotional range.
