Women Of The Fur Trade
Women Who Shaped Stratford | Women's History Month
•
1h 50m
Set in eighteen hundred and something-something, somewhere upon the banks of a reddish river in Treaty One Territory, where three very different women with a preference for 21st-century slang sit in a fort sharing their views on life, love and the hot nerd Louis Riel. 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.
Setting: Eighteen hundred and something-something. Banks of Reddish River in Treaty One Territory, Manitoba.
