DANCE ON THE MOON is a saga centred in the Old Town of Hastings on the East Coast of England in the late 1600's, the heyday of Piracy. The story is a critique of Empire. It is set in a rundown curio shop owned by a grizzly ex-pirate, Captain Ezra Gideon and his young son, Tristan. It is a moving coming-of-age love story.
Young Tristan longs to escape from the shadows of his father's past, but he is held back by the old man's iron will and his love for a Caribbean girl, Billie, the daughter of a local fisherman. There are flashbacks to his father's days under Sir Henry Morgan, the infamous Privateer/Pirate and his brutal sacking of Panama City.
The drama is interwoven with original songs composed by William Lawrence.
