A play that challenges our understanding of mythology, and forces us to ask vital questions about military occupation.
"And we believe we're helping, we really do. But we've been 'helping' people for thousands of years and the divided land has stayed divided. We're still at war."
acedia: Noun, from Greek akēdia, apathetic listlessness, a moral failing.
Jacob doesn't know why he's here. He's been at war for six years, but nobody will tell him why. The Moon is upstairs and he wants so desperately to talk to her, but they just won't let him. Will she be his salvation?
