About the Play:
The Buz'Gem Blues is the third play in Drew Hayden Taylor's ongoing zany, outrageous, often farcical examination of both Native and non-Native stereotypes in what is to become what he calls his Blues Quartet. The Buz'Gem Blues is not a play about clichés with which we have become so familiar that we recognize them as stereotypes instantly, but rather about how our ritualized and institutionalized systems of maintaining and policing those clichés prevent us from recognizing our common humanity within each other.
What people say:
"Taylor breaks down cliched binaries of Native and White, Age and Youth, Experience and Education, the Elder and the Academic, the Activist and Wannabe to reveal people dealing with age, sexuality, loneliness, and ultimately, with their own individuality. The Buz'Gem Blues explores how individuals need to learn to see how they see each other, before they can begin to see themselves." — John Moffat, Canadian Literature
