An abandoned home. A lost brother. A new generation. A secret love story. Family and friends splintered apart by the politics of race, sex and money, in a stunning new thriller by a playwright described as “the master of modern myth” (The Guardian) and “the best British playwright of the past twenty years” (Aleks Sierz, author of In-Yer-Face Theatre)

Curtis returns to the inner-city tower block where he grew up, along with two fellow members of the right-wing political party to which he belongs, and his ex-girlfriend, to find out why his brother’s ghost continues to haunt him. The group encounter a pair of squatters, who tell a story that will change Curtis’s life forever.

Philip Ridley is one of the UK’s most acclaimed playwrights, winner of Evening Standard, Time Out and Critics Circle Awards for his plays and films.

Moonfleece's young, multi-cultural cast includes Sean Verey (Skins), Reece Noi (Waterloo Road), David Ames (Doctor Who) and Emily Plumtree (Hollyoaks).
