When two rival architects compete for the French appointment to design the first monument on the moon, their shared pasts become present, intersecting subplots of sexual betrayal and intrigue.  These characters approach their architectural vision and design with clarity, precision and skill.  However, as the play progresses, the men find the complication and confusion in their personal lives more daunting.  Besset’s twists of fate are cunningly theatrical and at the same time full of compassion for human imperfection—a trick that perhaps only the French can pull off.  Besset offers a lean, sophisticated play with a gleaming aesthetic and brimming eroticism.
