Behind the Moon

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 stars Rizwan Manji (from Schitt's Creek), Anand Rajaram, and Ben Yoganathan. Anosh Irani is an acclaimed BC playwright and author who grew up in Mumbai. His clear-eyed view of the world—tempered by his humanity and his skill as a storyteller—makes for thrilling theatre. This story is an ever-changing dance involving three men—all fathers—and how one of them struggles to live in hope—against all odds.
