The Found Man (Nick Hern Book)

About this book

"Set in the mid-nineteenth century, The Found Man takes place within an isolated coastal community, as they await the arrival of Sinclair, a man who they hope will improve their difficult lives. The play explores how the community responds when they find another, unexpected man instead." "Charting with tragic inevitability how quickly excitement turns to anger and hope to fear, The Found Man is the third play from Glasgow-born writer Riccardo Galgani. Brutal yet lyrical, it was premiered at the Traverse Theatre during the 2005 Edinburgh Festival."--Jacket.
