Jason Pierce, a Canadian half-Native man, is packing up his urban apartment to leave it all behind for his
romanticized vision of a return to life on the reserve where he grew up. As he’s leaving, he is paid an
unexpected visit by Harry, an American who awkwardly introduces himself as Jason’s half-brother.
Harry wants Jason be compatibility-tested for a possible kidney donation to their dying non-Native father -
a man Jason has no memory of ever meeting.
A powerful drama by one of Canada’s leading First Nations playwrights, In A World Created By A Drunken
God raises questions that transcend issues of culture, morality and history, cutting to the heart of what it
means to be human in a world stripped of convenient labels and identity politics.
Downstage is excited to be producing this incredible play, a finalist for the Governor General’s Literary
Award for Drama, in a co-production with Lethbridge’s New West Theatre.
"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
