As memoir, it is a sequel to \u003ci\u003eThe Dreaming Land\u003c\/i\u003e (2015). A troubled and restless young Martin Edmond is on his way to becoming the wiser, older man who will sit down and write both narratives. As cultural history, the book gives us a participant's-eye view of the early years of Alan Brunton and Sally Rodwell's avant-garde theatre troupe Red Mole. Formed in 1974, Red Mole performed Dadaesque cabaret, agit-prop, costume drama, street theatre, circus and puppetry, live music, and became a national sensation. They toured the country with Split Enz and travelled internationally. One of Red Mole's five founding principles was 'to escape programmed behaviour by remaining erratic.' They ticked that one off. In \u003ci\u003eBus Stops on the Moon \u003c\/i\u003eMartin Edmond offers, with his customary elegance, a rich and entertaining picture of the high times and low lives of Red Mole.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Edmond\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1988592518\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781988592510\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Otago University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.60w x 0.80d","brand":"Martin Edmond","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990866329855,"sku":"9781988592510","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7c82492f-242f-497b-9dfa-e26c9dd4c9c9.jpg?v=1683307138","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bus-stops-on-the-moon-martin-edmond-9781988592510","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
