About the show
The Moon is a physical theatre piece by Center Stage Theatre, a student and youth company, performed at The Studio during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026. Inspired by a fairy tale and developed around Erikson's Stages of Development, the show asks what happens when none of the characters are truly heroic — just human. The story unfolds as a grave and poetic reminder that each choice we make affects the people we leave behind. It runs 90 minutes, is suitable for ages 8 and over, and carries no content warnings.
Why see this show?
An ambitious physical theatre piece that takes a fairy tale and strips away the heroics — asking big questions about what a meaningful life actually looks like, told through movement and storytelling accessible from age 8.
