"Indian Blood glides comfortably by like a series of Norman Rockwell paintings stirring into magical life!" - NY Times

 

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" is a delightful family comedy from one of Square One's favorite playwrights. The author of "Love Letters", "The Cocktail Hour", "Sylvia" and "Buffalo Gal" has delivered another winning comedy of manners.

Indian Blood  was a hit at Square One Theatre in Stratford!

 

Square One favorites J. Kevin Smith and Peggy Nelson play Harvey and Jane, the parents in this family drama, to a comedic tee. Smith's stick-up-his-ass curmudgeon collides perfectly with Nelson's trapped-in-the-1940s free spirit. The result is a comedic dynamic reminiscent of "The Odd Couple" and "I Love Lucy."

J. Kevin Smith as Harvey, the father, also delivers a sharply defined character performance as the staid father who expects his son to be as noble as he, and to take the high road as he does.
