Royal Shakespeare Company.
Written in response to A Midsummer Night's Dream, Rona Munro's The Indian Boy is set in an ancient forest. When a property developer builds houses on protected land, the wilderness fights back.
A feral child is found in the forest and he seems to have been there for generations, as trees turn to stone and resist the chainsaw. What are the powers being unleashed and what does the Indian Boy know? The play takes us into our mythic struggles with the dark, the wilderness and with ourselves.
Rona Munro's work includes Iron and the screenplay Rehab.
The Indian Boy runs at The Cube in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon from 7 - 11 November 2006, for six performances only.
