Women of the Fur Trade

Playwright Frances Končan shifts the focus in this powerfully funny satire from the male gaze on history to the power of women and their place in the rapidly changing world of the Canadian fur trade.

Set in eighteen hundred and something-something, somewhere upon the banks of a Reddish River in Treaty One Territory, three very different women with a preference for 21st century slang find themselves stuck in a fort having tea and sharing their views on life, love, and Louis Riel.

Thousand Island Playhouse’s production of Women of the Fur Trade, co-presented by Prismatic Arts Festival and Neptune Theatre.
