In 2005, a two-ton metal sculpture went missing from the grounds of a museum near London, England. The perpetrators were not art thieves, but Travellers (Irish gypsies) who sold the priceless work for scrap. HENRY MOORE IS MELTING imagines the story behind the true-life heist, examining the consequences for one Traveller who values art more highly than the bonds of his community.

Cast: Mickey O’Sullivan (Tommy), Ryan Hallahan (Finn), Brian Rohde (Mac), Sarah Shirkey (Carrie), Adam Overberg (Jimmy), Casey Kells (Serg), Christopher Donaldson (Charlie).

Production team: Rachel Boylan (Costume Design), Sam Hubbard (Violence Design), Sophie Blumberg (Lighting Design), Morgan Maul-Smith, (Production Management), Katie Messmore (Stage Management), Joe Pindelski (Dramaturgy), Daniel Ryan (Sound Design), Jeff Shields (Prop Design), and John Kelly (Set Design).
