In a World Created by a Drunken God

In a World Created by a Drunken God is a play by Canadian author Drew Hayden Taylor,[1] which was adapted into a film in 2008.

The play was staged for the first time at the Factory Theatre in Toronto, Ontario, as part of the Cross Currents theatre festival in 2003.[2] Published in book form by Talonbooks in 2006, it was nominated for the Governor General's Award for English-language drama at the 2006 Governor General's Awards.[3]

Plot

In the middle of packing up his Toronto apartment in order to move back to the reserve where he was born, Jason Pierce, a half-Native half-white man, is visited by a stranger, Harry Dieter. Dieter claims to be his brother, the legitimate and acknowledged son of the white American man who fathered and then abandoned Jason. Dieter also has a specific motivation for finding Jason: their father is dying from kidney failure and they want to know if Jason is a possible match.

Adaptation

The play was adapted into a film in 2008 with John Hazlett directing from a screenplay penned by Taylor.[4] It premiered on the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network in 2008,[5] and was a Gemini Award nominee for Best TV Movie at the 24th Gemini Awards in 2009.[6]
