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 na ve 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.
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.
