The play is set in Tiananmen Square in 1989.  As tanks roll through Beijing and soldiers hammer on his hotel door, Joe – a young American photojournalist – captures a piece of history.  When a cryptic message is left in a Beijing newspaper more than 20 years later, Joe is driven to discover the truth behind the unknown hero he captured on film. Who was he? What happened to him? And could he still be alive?

Moore, who plays Joe, was recently seen on stage at the Donmar Warehouse in Berenice. His previous theatre credits include Clybourne Park for the Royal Court, All My Sons at the Apollo Theatre, Much Ado About Nothing and Antony and Cleopatra for the Royal Shakespeare Company and The History Boys for the National Theatre (also subsequently on Broadway).  Amongst his television credits are "The Wrong Mans," "Hunted," "Just Henry," "The Titanic," "Lark Rise to Candleford," "Ashes to Ashes" and "Hustle." His film work includes "Complicit," "Johnny English Reborn," "Season of the Witch," "A Short Stay in Switzerland," "Sea Wolf," "The Day," "The History Boys" and "Bright Young Things."
