The 2015 play by James Ijames (winner of the 2022 Pulitzer Prize in Drama for Fat Ham, a modern-day reimagining of Hamlet) tells the story of Spencer, a young man dealing with the death of his mother. As he journeys home to plan her funeral, Spencer falls in love, discovers the truth about his absent father, and learns that his past is also the making of his present. This magical journey through space and time takes us literally from Philadelphia to the moon and back.  “Nothing really appears to be what it is in the play, and that pull between fantasy, fiction, and the raw present is a theme that is beautifully sewn throughout the narrative. …[a] gorgeous script.” — Philadelphia Magazine
