The Gorki Theatre will premiere the play BLOOD MOON BLUES on 20 November 2022. Yael Ronen and Orit Nahmias developed this new play under the working title Blue Monkey, Dirty Money. The black-humoured chamber play begins as a philosophical meditation on relationships with oneself, dealing in particular with those between mothers and daughters and those with long-term and short-term lovers.
