- Synopsis
- Video recording, using a single, fixed camera, of The Indian Boy by Rona Munro, directed by Rebecca Gatward. Commissioned by the RSC for the Complete Works Festival the play is a response to A Midsummer Night’s Dream and set in an ancient forest.

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?
