Book Description

January 1, 1999
The Baby Blues is Drew Hayden Taylor’s highly wrought farce of patrimony in a stifling, politically correct, post-colonial milieu of "fancy dancers" of every stripe on the powwow trail. In juxtaposing three generations of careless wandering hedonists, progenitors of a string of offspring from their six-night stands, with their erstwhile naïve women partners who are always left holding the bag, the "big questions" of heritage, family, cultural context and personal identity are ruthlessly stripped of their conventional meanings and become so much useless, embarrassing roadkill on the highway of life.

Cast of 3 women and 3 men.

About the Author

Drew Hayden Taylor
Hailed by the Montreal Gazette as one of Canada’s leading Native dramatists, Drew Hayden Taylor writes for the screen as well as the stage and contributes regularly to North American Native periodicals and national newspapers. His plays have garnered many prestigious awards, and his beguiling and perceptive storytelling style has enthralled audiences in Canada, the United States and Germany. One of his most established bodies of work includes what he calls the Blues Quartet, an ongoing, outrageous and often farcical examination of Native and non-Native stereotypes.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Author, author", July 4, 2000
This review is from: The Baby Blues (Paperback)
Drew Hayden Taylor has surpassed himself in writing this delightful comedy in which a reader is so easily able to maintain the concept of the stageplay that he might find himself laughing aloud. I even wanted to applaud and call for the author as I closed the book cover.

The plot revolves around several characters who encounter each other during a powwow and the relationships that develop between them. A short play and one that will be read again and again.
