 For a first-time playwright, Kevin Loring is making quite a splash.  Georgia Straight Where the Blood Mixes  was the best of a stream of plays tackling [the Residential Schools'] disastrous legacy.  Globe & Mail What a joy to witness  a genuinely great piece of theatre about our nation's dark secret and the terrible consequences of trying to poison the well of aboriginal spirit, being, culture and ritual.  Vancouver Sun Where the Blood Mixes goes straight to the heart. But it goes there via the funny bone.  Vancouver Courier Kevin Loring illuminates the complex aftermath of the residential school system and the circumstances of contemporary Aboriginal history through compelling, sympathetic and humorous characters who live as best they can, with courage and strength.  Canada Council There's no denying the wit and emotional impact of Where the Blood Mixes. Again and again, Loring creates profoundly moving moments, and then wraps them in reassuringly earthy humour.  Georgia Straight For a first-time playwright, Kevin Loring is making quite a splash. - Georgia Straight Where the Blood Mixes ... was the best of a stream of plays tackling [the Residential Schools'] disastrous legacy. - Globe & Mail What a joy to witness ... a genuinely great piece of theatre about our nation's dark secret and the terrible consequences of trying to poison the well of aboriginal spirit, being, culture and ritual. - Vancouver Sun Where the Blood Mixes goes straight to the heart.
