THE MOONMATES ARE READY TO BLAST OFF

They must overcome their frustrations with one another in order to complete their two-year contract. Melding slapstick, sitcom, and farce, the play is stuffed with dubious science and plenty of laughs. Brian Paul and Bretton Reis, two veteran New Hampshire-based theatre artists, wrote and premiered “Moonmates” back in 2018. Their initial performance run proved the show to be a hit. Seacoast Online called it, “A hilarious blast. It’s a blend of humor styles, stupid-smart, and above all deftly performed and written.” Reis, who also designed a functional sci-fi set for the piece, mused, “After the last year, audiences are ready to laugh, and to get away. Far away. Like to the moon.” “Moonmates” is fun for most ages, with mild references to adult situations and substances.
