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.
Review:
“Drew Hayden Taylor adheres to the dictates of classic, riveting theatre by presenting stellar characters struggling with hardcore moral questions, while inviting the audience to continue the dialogue after the curtain has dropped ... The presentation sure is masterful.”
― Quill & Quire
“Taylor ... is a dramatist with a biting sense of humour and a keen eye for irony, particularly in his newly published play, In a World Created by a Drunken God ... a play that is by turns quite sad, touching and thought-provoking ... The play isn’t just full of funny faux pas or insults; it is a powerful story of two men confronted by the sins of their father, literally ... In a World Created by a Drunken God tackles the thorny subjects of culture, morality and history to raise the more basic question of who we really are, apart from convenient labels and identity politics.”

“Drew Hayden Taylor has a deft touch for mixing comedy and commentary in an entertaining and all-Canadian form of social satire.”
― Vancouver Sun
“In Drew Hayden Taylor’s compelling drama, two half brothers meet for the first time. Jason is a half-native Canadian. harry is a non-native American. This well-crafted work pits exploitation and abandonment against privilege and comfort, in an ethical debate that surmounts stereotypes of status and culture.”

“Taylor has succeeded in creating an intriguing and thought-provoking story, with in-depth characters and mind-wrenching questions.”
