Native Earth presents Tara Beagan’s free as injuns at Toronto’s Buddies in Bad Times Theatre
On a criss-crossed stage with red painted wood and gates to resemble a farm, over a thick layer of dark soil and surrounded at all four sides by the audience, a dark family drama is presented.
Based on O’Neill’s Desire Under the Elms, which in turn is the American retelling of ancient Greek tragedy, free as injuns arrives with the intention to symbolize and speak of the current state of Canada’s relationship with its Aboriginal and multicultural society using its characters: the white autocrat father, the three sons, a new wife and a newborn baby.
