About King of the Moon
Written by Abigail Chandler
Director and dramaturg: Emelia Hutchinson
Hampton King, the richest man in the world, is the first billionaire to make it to the moon. He’s also just become the first man to be murdered on the moon.
His three business rivals – the men he invited with him on his maiden voyage just to rub their noses in it – are the only other people on the moon. One of them must be the murderer.
Can they stop scrabbling for power long enough to find the killer and make it back to Earth before more people die?
This is a rehearsed reading of a work-in-progress.
