"Indian Blood by
A.R. Gurney is a witty, warm, and thoroughly delightful comedy about family and coming-of-age. Young Eddie uses his Indian ancestry as a cause and an excuse for his adolescent attacks on the genteel world around him. Is it his ties to the Seneca tribe or his talent as a budding artist that causes his privileged world to turn upside down?," state Primary Stages notes. A prolific playwright, A. R. Gurney has writte
n The Dining Room, Sylvia, Love Letters, The Fourth Wall, and
Strictly Academic. Indian Blood is the third
A.R. Gurney play produced by Primary Stages.
