‘Allegory,’ such as is with the title, is the metaphorical depiction of the prejudices of disability through the lens of lycanthropy. I find that the fantastical nature of the mythological curse to be a fitting parallel to disability, as it is not something we can control.
My thoughts and review on the 1997 BBC Radio 1 adaptation of An American Werewolf in London.
‘Lunar Descent’ is a dramatised depiction of a lycanthropic transformation. I decided on the title as I thought it would be a fitting ‘descent into madness,’ as the speaker goes through the metamorphosis.
