According to a report by Variety, a handful of producers are currently working on both musical and screen adaptations of Howard Richardson's 1945 play, DARK OF THE MOON. The production team is aiming for a Broadway run in 2012.
Set in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina in the early 1900s, 'Dark of the Moon' by Howard Richardson and William Berney, is an enduring classic of American Theatre which has been in near constant production since its 1945 New York Premiere. Described as a combination of 'Romeo and Juliet' and 'The Crucible,' 'Dark of the Moon' is at once a compelling love story and a stark dissection of what happens when two radically contrasting cultures collide.
