In Thurgood Meddlethorp's classic play, the blissful romance of Puritan New England comes to life as some of the most God-fearing men in history find themselves face-to-face with the greatest test of faith and loyalty ever encountered in the New World. Can they trust Native American Princess Charity Littlecreek, even though she is both a foreigner and a woman? In "A Grey Cloud," Meddlethorp transcends the pious melancholy of traditional Puritan literature to truly capture what we know today to be the American Spirit. Its story of perseverance and understanding even in the midst of a strange and menacing foreign people is what makes AGCHFOWGT such a extraordinary piece of early American literature that continues to ring true even 400 years later.
