12 - 29 November 2008
The Wild Boys - Australian Theatre of the Deaf (limited season)
Parade Playhouse, NIDA Parade Theatre, 215 ANZAC Parade, Randwick

The Wild Boys is a story about two very different boys from worlds and times apart who view the world through similar eyes. One was brought up in a forest in southern France in the late 1700’s who lived and behaved like an animal. No language. No emotion. The other is a deaf boy brought up in western Sydney today with the instincts of a wild child; with little language and little emotion. Through an innovative theatre language of body expression and physical prose, these divided worlds bond to deliver The Wild Boys – this is their story.
