WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Opening Primary Stages 22nd season is the world premiere of Indian Blood by A.R. Gurney, 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. Was it his ties to the Seneca tribe or his talent as a budding artist that caused his privileged world to turn upside down? The eight-member cast features Matthew Arkin, Jeremy Blackman, Jack Gilpin, Rebecca Luker, Katherine McGrath, John McMartin, Charles Socarides, and Pamela Payton-Wright. Mark Lamos directs.
Additional Sunday matinees scheduled for July 30, August 6 & 13 at 3PM and Wednesday matinees on August 16, 23 & 30 at 2PM.
OPENING NIGHT IS WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 9, 2006 at 7:00PM.

Indian Blood marks a homecoming for A.R. Gurney, and not simply because it's set in Buffalo, where the playwright was born. Gurney established his reputation by penning witty, gently sardonic comedies about White Anglo-Saxon Protestants such as Scenes from an American Life, The Dining Room, and The Cocktail Hour. But more recently, he's ventured into more sharply political fare such as O Jerusalem and Mrs. Farnsworth. This new play is more in line with his earlier work. An enchanting memory play with a terrific ensemble cast, Indian Blood is an affectionately satirical portrait of a bygone era that is richer and more complex than it initially appears.
The play takes place in the mid-1940s. [...]
