| Summary: | 'The Bundle' explores the origins and mechanisms of moral concepts through cruel ethical dilemmas. The play begins with the discovery of an abandoned child on a riverbank. Reluctantly the ferryman adopts the child though he can barely afford to feed another person. The play first describes the boy's upbringing within the social values of his community, before turning to revolution to dissect and rework accepted attitudes and ideologies. 'The Bundle' weaves together lives beset with social injustices and torn by agonizing choices. It was first performed in 1978 at the Warehouse Theatre, London.
