Women Of The Fur Trade

Directed by Kathleen MacLean
Set in "eighteen hundred and something", three very different women with a preference for 21st-century slang sit in a fort on the banks of the Reddish River, sharing their views on life, love, and that hot nerd Louis Riel ("He is SO dreamy...the total package!")
In this lively historical satire of survival and cultural inheritance, playwright Frances Koncan shifts perspectives from the male gaze onto women's power-in the past and present-through the lens of the rapidly changing world of the Canadian fur trade. 
WHY WE CHOSE THIS PLAY 
We are captivated by the way that Koncan's irreverent and witty comedy looks at Indigenous history through a modern feminist lens. Poking fun at the men who have stolen the limelight for far too many years, Marie-Angelique, Cecilia, and Eugenia track the progress of-and interact with-Louis Riel and Thomas Scott. -Michael Shamata and Nigel Shawn Williams

This production of Women of the Fur Trade is supported in part by a generous gift from Diane Scott.
