Behind the Moon
by Anosh Irani
Feb 4 – Mar 2 2025
“Heartrending and captivating…pulls no punches.” – Intermission Magazine
Hailed as “one of CanLit’s most innovative chameleons,” playwright and author Anosh Irani takes us to the Mughlai Moon restaurant in Toronto, where Ayub cooks, cleans, and waits for his future to begin. His father’s friend, Qadir, has brought him to Canada with a promise of permanency that never seems to materialize. A mysterious stranger brings with him the clarity that Ayub needs to free himself from the limbo in which he is suffocating.
Behind the Moon runs February 4 – March 2 with Pay What You Can tickets available for all performances.
Destination Greater Victoria is honoured to be based on the traditional territory of the Lekwungen-speaking peoples of the Songhees Nation and Xwsepsum Nation, whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
