Description:

Thematically, the play is about love, marriage, birth, death, family and nature. The entire play is set on a cliff which overlooks a winding river. The river separates this cliff from another cliff, which would be an exact mirror image were it not for a waterfall. The play opens in 1850 with Chief Eagle Watcher Ross (a half blood Native American) and Mary Stuart (an immigrant from England), Chief has brought her to this spot to propose marriage. What follows this first scene is a non-linear account of the family these two create from their marriage bond. Encompassing five generations of a family torn apart by greed, misunderstanding and envy, THE LAND OF ROYAL BLOOD seeks to present the cyclical nature of reality and how nature (the land) controls our destinies.
