Summary
SFX: Sound of wind and rain. Noise of women and children talking. Some laughing. Clatter of mugs and tins. Sound of liquid being poured into a tin container.
CYNTHIA: What is your name, sonny?
LITTLE BOY: Adam.
CYNTHIA: Where is your mother?
LITTLE BOY [Tearfully]: She is in prison.
WHITE WOMAN: Adam lives all alone. Sleeps wherever he can find shelter.
CYNTHIA: What happened?
LITTLE BOY: They came … the police … and took her away.
WHITE WOMAN: I took him home with me. But yesterday I had to return him to the squatter camp because I feared retaliation by the authorities for keeping an illegal black child in a white area. I have given him clothes and food, but I don't want any more trouble. Reprisals against my children…
SFX: Distant sirens offmic and fade out.
