Danger in the Wings

by Geoffrey Trease

First published 1997

2.5(5)

Dan’s love of acting takes him from Boston to England, where the theatre offers work, new companions and a meeting with Jessica. As relations between Britain and its American colonies deteriorate, his journey and theatrical ambitions place him in increasingly serious danger.

The novel uses the movement of performers across the Atlantic to connect stage life with the coming American Revolution. Trease shows how political suspicion and divided loyalties affected people whose identity, livelihood and friendships crossed imperial boundaries.
