Women of the Fur Trade (Teaser) | STRATFEST@HOME

Now available on STRATFEST@HOME: Women of the Fur Trade!
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.

Okay, I'll say it, I don't know how this was recommended to me, but hell yeah, this looks really cool; I have no idea if it will be mildly compelling, or even, more mildly compelling, but--not everything has to be Marvel (TM), showing absolutely EVERYTHING, saying absolutely NOTHING. This much smaller scope story would appear to have plenty of things to say, in the voices of those we almost certainly are unfamiliar with. Great concept, excited to see more!
