Moon Over The Brewery was actually written for my own mental health. My previous play, Minor Demons, was one of the darkest things I'd ever written. It was filled with murder, betrayal, alcoholism...fun stuff like that.
So I made a conscious choice that my next play would be happy, damnit. A love story. But not a love story about sophisticated, dashing people 'cause I don't know anybody like that. I did, however, know a few postal workers and waitresses. And my niece, Amanda — who was four — had an imaginary friend, Chester, who lived behind our couch. Out of all that came Moon Over The Brewery.
