The Indian Boy

A 'wild child' is found in the last clump of woodland left on a building development. The builder, Peter, wants him out of the way. The psychologist, Julius, wants to protect him. His wife, June, wants to understand him. Their daughter, Sara, wants to be close to him and all the time something wilder than the boy seems intent on escaping from the forest. Written as a response to A Midsummer Night's Dream for the Royal Shakespeare Company, Rona Munro's The Indian Boy takes us into our mythic struggles with the dark, the wilderness and with ourselves.
