Women Of The Fur Trade

April 26, 2025 @ 2:00 pm

$25 – $50

Three women of different cultural teachings navigate their place and identity during the precarious times of the fur trade era. Confined to a small fort in Fort Garry, Manitoba, Cecilia (British) longs for the return of her husband, Marie-Angelique (Métis) wants to marry Louis Riel and Eugenia (Ojibwe) hates men in general, particularly John A. MacDonald. As the women grow restless in the confines of the fort except for Eugenia who comes and goes as she please, they begin to correspond with the men who hold power in the outside world. As tensions increase in the fictional Reddish River Valley, the three friends brace themselves for what is to come. Playwright Frances Koncan’s comedic and moving portrait of three women uses 21st century slang and pop culture to reveal the shifting perspectives on women’s power in the old and new world.
