A story about the goddess and the dark side of the moon.

A young girl watches the moon landings on repeat.
A teenager makes a list of all the things they are not.
A young adult starts to discover who they are.

Part myth, part coming‑of‑age story, part shared experience, Selene explores the light, dark and wild stuff inside all of us. Intimately staged, this ★★★★★ theatre performance draws you into the orbit of the story, inviting you to lend your voice and become part of the unfolding narrative.

For one night only, immerse yourself in this imaginative experience that weaves wonderful lunar facts, prom‑night drama and echoes of Fleetwood Mac’s Landslide into a wonderful tale for our times.

Performed by acclaimed film, television and theatre actress Megan Drury (Underbelly, Packed to the Rafters, Macbeth), you’ll leave howling at the moon.

Don’t miss this radical explosion of an ancient myth about the moon from the internationally award‑winning company behind Helios, Orpheus and The Gods The Gods The Gods.
