Ruby Moon
by Matt Cameron
It begins like a fairytale but how does it end…
In picture-perfect Flaming Tree Grove, a little girl called Ruby sets off to visit her grandma at the end of the cul-de-sac. But she never arrives. Her parents spiral into suspicion and sorrow as they search for answers to the haunting mystery. And then a strange and chilling package appears on their doorstep… Ruby Moon is a fractured fairytale from the dark heart of suburbia, a tour de force for two.

Reviews
"...an exemplary piece of theatre for young adults. On one level, it's a twisted whodunit set in sinister, contemporary suburbia. On another, it's an engrossing interrogation of the act of storytelling.... Sarah Giles's production is a creepy delight.... Think along the lines of a David Lynch thriller, with a couple of nicely timed surprises calculated to make the audience jump from their seats." - The Sydney Morning Herald
