Women of the Fur Trade
by Frances Končan
Directed by Renae Morrisseau
September 24–October 4, 2025
Frederic Wood Theatre
An NAC Indigenous, GCTC, NEPA production, presented by Touchstone Theatre in association with Western Canada Theatre and UBC Theatre and Film
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 twenty-first century slang sit in a fort sharing their views on life, love, and the hot nerd Louis Riel. This lively historical satire of survival and cultural inheritance 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.
Following a sold-out premiere in January 2024 at Ottawa’s National Arts Centre, this production is revived with its first Western Canada stop.
