Summary:

A collection of plays by contemporary Assiniboine playwright William S. Yellow Robe Jr. comprised of one full-length and seven one-act plays, and reflective of one of his most creative and productive periods. The selections range from tragedy to farce; all have supernatural themes or other significant elements in common. In his introduction, Jace Weaver writes that the works in this volume clearly demonstrate that Yellow Robe is not just a great Native playwright, but a great American playwright in the company of David Mamet, Lynn Nottage, and Wallace Shawn. Noted American Indian playwright Hanay Geiogamah provides a foreword.
