Behind the Attic Wall
Twelve-year old Maggie is sent to live with her great-aunts in an old, empty boarding school. Bereft and alone, she escapes into her imagination, building a world that is at once intricate and theatrical – a place where she finds friendship and a sense of home. Adapted for the stage by Peggy Stafford and co-conceived by director, Meghan Finn, BEHIND THE ATTIC WALL is a beloved American young adult novel by Sylvia Cassedy.
