Passion
free as injuns engages the senses
by Jessica Yen
Inspired by O’Neill’s classic American play Desire Under the Elms, free as injuns is a saga centered around the Cabot family, three sons born from different mothers, a heavy handed widower father, and his new (significantly younger) wife. Even Cabot is the youngest son who is guided by his dead mother’s voice (played by Yvette Nolan in voiceover). He is driven by his need to reclaim the farm which he believes is his birthright. Enter Be Cabot, Ephraim’s young half-native wife who immediately finds herself irresistibly drawn to Even. They find love in each other and more importantly the shared desire to take back the land. Be becomes pregnant with Even’s child, deceiving Ephraim into believing that it is his. Everyone but the oblivious Ephraim is forced to live under the lie which eventually undoes Even and his relationship with Be.
