“Ruby Moon is an Australian play by Matt Cameron written in 2007. The story revolves around Sylvie and Ray Moon, a couple from the fictional town of Flaming Tree Grove, who are struggling to come to terms with the mysterious disappearance of their young daughter, Ruby, who left to visit her Grandma and never came back. The case has long gone cold, and they're almost ready to give up hope, until the arm of Ruby's doll turns up in their letter box. Desperate for answers, they go up and down the street and interview their neighbours about the incident. They encounter many eccentric characters, including a bible-thumping old woman, an ex-soldier who still lives with his mother, Ruby's creepy babysitter and even a mad scientist. Any one of them could be responsible. Through the play the couple are haunted by the presence of 'The Wizard'- a former runaway who returned home to find his parents had moved away. He is never seen, but will often knock on the Moons' door.The ending is one hell of a mind screw.” We Require two strong actors to play the roles of: Sylvie Moon - 30’s - Psychologically unstable after the sudden loss of her daughter Ruby.She rarely leaves the house and spends most of her time caring for a mannequin dressed as Ruby. Ray Moon - 30’s - Distraught after the loss of his daughter he waits patiently for the day the detective will call him to say that his daughter has been found safe, while he waits he looks after his wife caring for her and watching his suspicious neighbours, always looking for more clues.
