A gentle two-hander on the main stage at the Park Theatre doesn't seem to have found its audience, judging by tonight's attendance, but covers some heavy subjects with a light touch and deserves a look.
Bomber's Moon is set in a sheltered accommodation flat where the elderly Jimmy (James Bolam,) slowly dying of cancer and with limited mobility, lives. When his regular carer has to suddenly take time off, he gets passed to the inexperienced David (Steve John Shepherd.) After a successful career in management, a turn of events in his personal life saw David look for a more meaningful job and Jimmy is the first patient he's been given full responsibility for. After an awkward start the two quickly become friends, but their complicated and differing opinions on religion remain a bone of contention between them.
