BEHIND THE MOON
By Anosh Irani
A Touchstone Theatre Production
An Arts Club Presentation
In a Mughlai restaurant in Toronto, Ayub keeps everything clean and polished to a mirror’s shine. When a mysterious cab driver walks in one night, the foundations of Ayub’s life begin to crack. He is forced to confront reality, the family left behind in his homeland, and the dreams he’s abandoned. From the writer of Bombay Black and The Men in White, this achingly beautiful drama tells a story of love, loss, and what it means to begin again.
“Captures both the enduring faith needed to start from the bottom, and the way life can change in the blink of an eye” —Stir Magazine
