Wild Child
Inspiration for this show was taken from the story of 'The Wild Boy of Aveyron' in conjunction with Roger Shatuck's book, 'The Forbidden Experiment'.
The Forbidden Experiment describes and analyses a six year-long experiment that was carried out by a Doctor Itard involving the wild boy.
The show had a clear narrative and follows the experiences of the 'Wild Child' through play, school, love, work and social acceptance.
