The Sun & Moon

The Fantasticks, 2021 | Created by Bob Wendland

The two-sided sun/moon signified the harshness of Act II, leading into “This Plum is Too Ripe.” Much like all the components of The Fantasticks, this piece was bespoke and purposefully crafted, as the actors, set, props and costumes all emerged at the top of the show from one single box with a trick bottom.
