<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;">Amazingly, two Rock and Roll legends, Mama Cass and Keith Moon, both died at age of 32 in</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;">the same London flat about four years apart in the mid-1970's.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;"><b>MAMA / MOON</b> is the story of the last few hours in each of their lives.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;">It's a play about Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll. But also about the whirlwind of celebrity and</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;">the all too often side affects of loneliness and addiction on the road to Redemption.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;">In the first half of <b>MAMA / MOON</b>, Mama Cass Elliot, formerly of The Mamas and The Papas,</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;">and fresh off a career-capping, two week, sold out, solo engagement at the London Palladium,</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;">tries to complete her comeback by enticing a young admirer into becoming the most meaningful</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;">relationship in her life.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;">In the second half of <b>MAMA / MOON</b>, Keith Moon, the innovative and wildly eccentric and</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;">erratic drummer for the rock band The Who, tries desperately, despite his hell-raising ways, to</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;">hold on to his job, his sanity and his longtime girlfriend, before time runs out.</p>
