About the Show

N.C. Hunter’s gently comic Waters of the Moon is a touching and skillful examination of class, culture, and disillusionment in post-WWII England. The play centers on the lonely inhabitants of a secluded hotel who live out their days in genteel poverty. When a winter storm brings the arrival of the glamorous and outspoken Helen Lancaster (Carolyn McCormick), whose car and family have become snowbound on the way to a New Year’s Eve party, the hotel’s residents are forced to confront their resigned and isolated lives.
