I can imagine myself in the future looking back on this all. And looking back I can feel when the fire was lit.
Fifteen-year-old Roxy is burning. Lost somewhere between the bonfire of girlhood and the sharp edge of womanhood, she gathers her friends and begins meddling in witchcraft to search for answers. Shadows are lurking, ready to swallow those she loves most in the world. As friendships fray, fire crackles and blood bubbles, the group unravel the bonds that unite and the secrets that surround them.
Maryam Hamidi's Moonset is a blazing, coming-of-age tale filled with love, rage and self-discovery, as four young women search for the power they were promised.
Moonset is published in Methuen Drama's Plays For Young People series which offers suitable plays for young performers and audiences at schools, youth groups and youth theatres.
This edition was published to coincide with the Citizens Theatre production at Tron Theatre and Traverse Theatre, Scotland, in February 2023.
A Preview of Moonset is available here.
