The Moth Man

The Moth Man is the story exploring a family surviving in an ever-emerging Ireland, it is the story of ‘the lost boy’ who ran to London to escape the oppression of growing up in a culture, which he found oppressive filled with cloying lies and an oblique lack of love and understanding. Like a ghost the shadow of the lost boy lives on in his family, both admired and reviled, what happens to him, how do the family fair with so much hidden hurt. A gentle father, admired and loved, his scientific nature denied to him. A mother hated and misunderstood, and the inability for generational healing to exist without true leadership.
