Description: Rona Munro's 'The Indian Boy' is a play about the discovery of a 'wild child' in a forest and society's attempts to understand and control him. It was commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company, with the brief that it should be loosely inspired by Shakespeare; Munro chose to re-imagine the life of the 'Indian boy' who is the main cause of the rift between the fairies Oeron and Titania in 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'.
