Inhaltsangabe

“…Much like his fellow American master Horton Foote’s evocation of 1900s Texas towns—in tone and execution, if not style—Gurney’s expert accounts of genteel American life are compassionate plays. Lighter in emotional fabric than some of his stories, INDIAN BLOOD otherwise proves no exception to Gurney’s excellent body of classy works.”Michael Sommers, The Star Ledger “In INDIAN BLOOD, his delightful and touching memory play, A R Gurney takes a break from his recent anti-Bush salvos (MRS FARNSWORTH, SCREEN PLAY) and returns to his treasured hometown of Buffalo…. INDIAN BLOOD can arguably be seen as a companion piece to Gurney’s recent political works, for he feels as strongly about what he lost long ago on the shores of Lake Erie as what he now finds daily along the Potomac. Eulogizing the past is just one more way to take a slap at the present.”Robert Simonson, Time Out “In his sweet and civilized memoir of a sixteen year-old boy in rebellion against the stuffy values of his upper-middle-class family, prolific scribe A R Gurney deftly sidesteps the deathtrap of narcissism that trips up most coming-of-age plays. INDIAN BLOOD has broader aspirations, using the anecdotal tale of a family Christmas dinner to educate its cocky young narratorin what the future holds for his privileged social class….”Marilyn Stasio, Daily Variety “...Written with delicacy and old-school craftsmanship, INDIAN BLOOD is a modest memory play that is endowedwith a measure of emotional heft….”Charles Isherwood, The New York Times “…INDIAN BLOOD…is smart, diverting and very much worth seeing….”Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal
