There is still no remedy for love but to love more The moon's jilted daughter is rediscovered on her journey to dispose of her broken heart.

Dark clouds release a terrential downpour onto the shadows of the betrayed as the season brings little sanctuary to their scorched and heavy hearts. Can true love be found in the summer winds blowing between the tears of pain and laughter?

Tiny of frame, terrifying of aspect, The Moon's jilted daughter reawakens her hope and faith in a future.

Early in 2006, at an interesting stage in the company’s evolution the shysters in conjunction with Artistic Director Kathy Joyce, decided to look beyond and outside themselves for a catalyst to ignite the devising process. Inspired by artists and influences beyond theatre, the shysters decided to create The Triptych; three theatre productions which could either be performed together or independently of each other. SHARDS, in 2006 was Part 1 of The Triptych and with ceramics as their inspiration and spark, the shysters began their exploration of a hybrid of theatre, music and a variety of visual arts. The exploration continues in 2007 with Tears, Part 2 of The Triptych and this time with textiles, folklore and paintings the spark to the devising process.
collaboration between both companies

 
Tears will be the first major production that all members from both the shysters and shystershadows have been involved in. It is most fitting that this year’s anniversary celebrations includes the continued development of The Triptych with the first full collaboration between both companies.
