Synopsis
The play tells the story of Moonbeam, mysterious daughter of the Moon King. She is hidden as a tiny babe inside a magically glowing bamboo and is discovered on the night of the August moon by the childless bamboo cutter. The play presents the comedy and adventure of Moonbeam's bumbling suitors; the startling revelation of her true identity and fate; the dramatic clash between the Moon King and the Emperor; and finally, Moonbeam's bittersweet departure from her earthly loved ones.
