Stages of Half Moon:
George Costigan
Actor George Costigan performed in three plays at Half Moon in the late 1980s: Love on the Plastic, As Is, and Macbeth. His debut novel, The Single Soldier, has just been published and is set in France during the German occupation. It's getting some great reviews, so we're happy to give it a mention. We interviewed George for our Stages of Half Moon archive project and he had a lot of interesting memories to share. The photo shows him with David Fielder (left) in a promo shot for As Is.
