About the Event

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.

Playwright Frances Koncan 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.

Showtimes:
Weekdays: 7:30pm
Weekends: 2:00pm & 7:30pm

Three women - the titular "Women of the Fur Trade" - stand in glamorous poses on a stage set like a living room, complete with portraits, rocking chairs, and a rug. They wear long fur coats over their colourful outfits.
