SYNOPSIS:
“Blood Boundary" is set after World War I and before the 1921 Greenwood Massacre, formerly recalled as the Tulsa Race Riot.
James Broughton arrives in Tulsa to renew contact with his Oklahoma roots before returning to study medicine in Europe. Among other surprises, he finds out that he has a previously unknown uncle, Billy Vann, and that he may have more Cherokee blood in him than he thought.
Billy is a railroad porter who wants to turn the family house in Greenwood into a “hospitality” center for all races, but local tumultuous developments involving race make him conclude that he must arm himself, against the wishes of his daughter Tassie, an aspiring artist.
Fain Cuddahy returns to meet her grandson Virgil, who we learn is a budding Klansman. She must teach Tassie how to defend herself against men like him. Virgil, a likable but self-centered young man twisted with hate toward blacks, in the end learns a shocking truth about himself.
Balancing the family equation, the more overtly Victorian, inwardly strong great-Aunt Jane comes into the picture to attempt to mend a broken family. When she evacuates Tassie and James to Paris on a subterfuge, they learn of the terrible events back home, and realize they are the last of their bloodline to survive the Greenwood Massacre.
The play is driven by historical events in 1920, taken from headlines in Mr. Smitherman’s Star and the Tulsa World . Until 2012, the Greenwood Massacre was known as the Tulsa Race Riot – it was and still remains the worst race riot in U.S. history.
