Tinker Autumn relates an unusual alliance between
two young people - 12-year-old Caitlin Moran and 13-year-old
Peter Crichton - in a rural American setting
Circumstances have placed both outside the middle-class mainstream of society, leaving Caitlin illiterate and Peter an orphan
Both must fight the system in order to hang on to their individuality and integrity
This play demands of its young actors a wide emotional range, as Caitlin fights off her humiliation with bursts of outrage, and Peter, terrified of authority, is forced to act bravely
A serious play about outcast children, Tinker Autumn forces a realistic look at human needs
Cast requires 1 boy and 1 girl
