Moon Street

Robert McGuire, a world-famous theatre director, returns to Edinburgh where he claims he can stage Peter Pan without casting an actor for Pan - "Can't you see?

The play itself is a kind of beautiful mother ...Open your eyes and hearts.

You must see! We will stage it with such grace and beauty. The sad and beautiful mother will do it for us. She will call forth her child from light and air. What need have we for flesh and blood? Pan will fly into her arms, her little angel with hell-scorched wings!' Is McGuire ill, or is he a visionary, or is he plotting an outrageous act of cultural terrorism?

Stuart Paterson is one of Scotland's leading playwrights.

This volume contains both the book and play version of 'Moon Street.'
