This is based on the traditional Ojibway belief about the struggle to overcome the inner beast that can be released by starvation. It was one of my earliest plays for young people, and the subject matter, cannibalism, made some people nervous. But not the kids. The original production, directed by the greatly talented Brian Richmond, was riveting. I was delighted when the play was later produced by an Ojibway theatre company -- and fascinated to hear it was performed by the Chung Ying company of Hong Kong in Cantonese. Those are two productions I wish I'd seen.
