Cussing at the Moon, 2009

Cussing at the Moon is the story of three estranged adult sisters who come together after one of them makes a surprising and ill-fated leap from the Aurora Bridge, landing in a coma at Harborview Medical Center. The investigation of these rather eccentric women, the dynamics of their familial relationships, and the patchwork faith that constitute their very individual spirituality takes them from the hospital room to the surreal internal world of a coma patient and back again. Through the consultation of a deified Angelina Jolie, they emerge on the other side wiser, sanctified, and a wee bit exposed.

'"Nebunele's "Moon" shines...The characters draw us into their world and keep us there. Although the story deals with family dysfunction and death, its serious subject matter is generously sprinkled with heart and humor, which is often physical and always entertaining."
-Steve Clare, The Examiner

Sometimes expectations are exceeded, even if expectations are high. Cussing at the Moon, an ensemble-created production by Nebunele Theatre (yes, a strange name), and a "homeless" company to boot, exceeds expectation...Choices of dialogue are sharp, to the point, and interesting..This is a lovely play, and it gets an unqualified "go see it."
