They Promised Her The Moon
Hunter Drama’s Actors Company, in partnership with Newcastle Museum, is proud to present the AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE of They Promised Her the Moon on stage from 11 to 13 December.
They Promised Her the Moon is the powerful true story of Jerrie Cobb, the first American woman to test for spaceflight. In this riveting drama, Cobb’s memories of her extraordinary life unfold as she broke records and outperformed her male counterparts, ultimately being denied her chance to make history as part of NASA’s overlooked Mercury 13 program.
Staged against the backdrop of a massive lunar landscape in Newcastle Museum’s Supernova Exhibit, the actors bring this heart-wrenching true story of struggle, sisterhood and science to audiences for the first time in Australia, directed by Hunter Drama Artistic Director James Chapman.
The production is recommended for audiences aged 12+. Limited seats are available, and all tickets are $50 purchased from www.events.humanitix.com/theypromised-her-the-moon
