Synopsis

The third play in Taylor's ongoing zany, outrageous, often farcical examination of both native and non-native stereotypes. As absurdly claustrophobic as "Gilligan's Island", Taylor is pulling some of our most revered icons - European anthropologists, their native elder informants and their militant young warrior critics - off their pedestals. This is a play about how our ritualized and institutionalized systems of maintaining and policing clichés prevents us from recognizing our common humanity in each other.
