Who We Become: The Moonshot Tape by Lanford Wilson

Edinburgh 2026

Award-winning, five-star production of a play by a Pulitzer Prize winner. In this compelling monologue, Diane, a successful writer, returns to her Missouri hometown to help her ageing mother. Responding to questions from an unseen local interviewer, she revisits pivotal moments from her past. Written with Wilson’s signature lyricism and emotional clarity, the play explores memory, identity and the moments when lives quietly change course. ‘Perhaps one of the best performances you will see at the Fringe this year’ (BroadwayBaby.com). ‘Incredible’ (Independent).
