One Summer's day, the peaceful life of a Suffolk village was disturbed forever by a strange visitation. Who were the two children who seemed to have come from nowhere, spoke no English, would eat no food and - most terrible of all--were green from head to toe? The 12th century monks who reluctantly chronicled the incident offered no rational explanation. What matters to Maxwell in his passionate and beautiful portrait of this incident, is what do these children mean to each of the villagers - something to fear, to threaten, to exploit, to lust after, to love? Are they freaks or angels? Wolfpit anatomizes a society faced by dreadful choices, a known world trembling on the verge of the miraculous. Theatre: |
