The Night Guardian (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781091217522)

'Every night I dream that I destroy the world.' Ellen Smith thinks she is one of the good guys. Trained from childhood by the government to fight crime, she prowls the streets of post-apocalyptic Perth, Western Australia, in the guise of The Night Guardian - a caped crusader with the ability to control darkness and light. When an over-glorified hacker with a podcast, calling himself 'Doctor Chaos, ' leaks classified information linking her powers to permanent blindness and insanity, Ellen breaks all the rules to find out the truth. Has she been working for the bad guys all along? Based on the sold out play, first produced in Perth Western Australia as a part of The Blue Room Summer Nights in association with Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts, and developed with support from Playwriting Australia, The Night Guardian is a dystopian science fiction and unlikely romance between a superhero and her arch nemesis. Praise for the Stage Production: 'A near-future superhero showdown demonstrates sophisticated understanding of the nuances of good and evil...dialogue is intelligently written and clearly delivered.' Artshub 2014 ****'A delightfully sharp piece of neo-political writing. The only shame about N.G was the lack of a sequel!' The Tangible Blo
