Brad Dourif in 1976: unhinged, brilliant, and digging up your ancestral trauma.
In this production of Lanford Wilson’s Obie Award-winning play, Native American traditions conflict with modern society when archaeologists try to uncover the mysteries of ancient native temple mounds before rising waters flood the region.
Acting
Dourif's twitchy, desperate Chad — Oscar nominee energy in a filmed play.
Writing
Wilson's dialogue: dense, poetic, brutally unsentimental.
Director
Marshall W. Mason

The 1970s 'New Archaeology' movement made this hyper-relevant; Indiana Jones was the fantasy, this was the reality.
