A SAMUEL FRENCH, LTD. TITLE
Moonfleece
Full-Length Play, Drama / 3w, 8m
Moonfleece is an intense and thrilling exploration of memory and
identity, with themes of contemporary resonance: racism,
homophobia, and
how those in authority distort both the truth and the past. This
play
is Philip Ridley's most direct representation yet of his hopes and
fears
for disadvantaged, diverse communities of today's society, as two
groups of teenagers are forced to judge for themselves the
prejudices
and preconceptions of their parents. This is a vital, relevant and
compelling story for the whole country and especially young people
from
all backgrounds.

Summary
The plot follows Curtis, who has arranged a secret meeting in a flat of a derelict tower block. Years ago, when he was a child, Curtis lived here before tragedy struck in the form of his elder brother's death. Now Curtis is seeing his brother's ghost. With the aid of Gavin and Tommy, fellow members of the right wing political party of which he is a leading figure, and his ex-girlfriend, Sarah, Curtis aims to find out why this ghost is haunting him. Things, however, do not go as planned and a hitherto secret story has to be revealed. A story that will change Curtis's life forever.
