About
In the original story, the Moon has fallen in love with the Sun, and she sends a hare named Jack on a journey to deliver an amulet, pose a riddle and tell him of her love. Jack encounters a series of characters and eventually finds the Sun, but by then he has lost the amulet and scrambled the riddle.Kate Mulvany’s stage adaption has removed the element of the treasure hunt and added the story of the young boy in the cancer ward who is trying to make sense of his illness. In the first half of the story the boy, Joe and his mother, Tessa read the book together, while it is acted out all around them. In the second half the emotional impact of Joe’s illness and his mother’s attempts to stay positive drive the narrative, as they join Jack on the imaginative hunt for the amulet, blurring the line between myth and reality.
