Untamed. Unfiltered. Unforgettable.

Women of the Fur Trade

September 22 - October 11, 2026
Scotiabank Studio Stage - Directed by Keith Barker

Written by Frances Koncan

  Radiant Series  
Content Advisory : This production deals with issues of colonial violence, misogyny, and racism. It contains a sequence of flashing lights, strong language, loud noises, and gunshots.

 

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.
