MOONBODIES is an erotic horror play set in a nightmarish near-future New York City, where Shelley, a vibrant nightclub performer battling lifelong body dysmorphia and eating disorders, enrolls in an experimental drug trial that slowly transforms her into a werewolf. The catch: the drug only works if she eats. Using the trial to reconnect with Rumi, a chef and former lover struggling with his changing body, Shelley proposes a secret arrangement of sex, caretaking, feeding, and kink that spirals into a volatile romance as they both transform. Blending visceral body horror and surreal puppetry, MOONBODIES interrogates shame, body politics, and being fully seen.
