The play is described as a gripping thriller that explores themes of war, race, the legacy of history, the consequences of our actions, the quest for redemption, and the limits of forgiveness. The story revolves around a chance meeting on a train in 1997 between John, a black British activist and journalist, and Marius, a white South African ex-soldier.

The cast includes Faz Singhateh as John Josana and Micky Cochrane as Marius Muller. The Elysium Theatre Company, known for their sell-out northern tour of Othello, promises a drama that will 'grip audiences from the beginning and not let go'. Palatinate described the play as: "Some plays entertain.
Some plays move. "There are a rare few that demand something of their audience – those that refuse to let go after the curtain falls. "The Moth is one of them.
"Herzberg has created something that is simultaneously deeply personal and overwhelmingly universal."Tickets for the show are available now, priced at £12 each. he show is supported by the Arts Council of England.
