The Frybread Queen, directed by Robert Caisley, who served as dramaturg during the play’s development, tells the tale of three generations of Native women bound by marriage and family ties who come together for the funeral of a beloved son and in their grief confront long-simmering tensions and family secrets that threaten to tear them apart.
Featuring four Native women facing family and generational issues, the play, a mystery filled with storytelling, addresses at a deeper level many of the challenges facing Native people all over the country today – the erosion of traditional values, the loss of family and tribe and ownership of belonging. Those elements factor into the relationships of these women as they struggle to deal with their situation.
