- **Event Description**: Frances Koncan’s wildly funny and razor-sharp remix of Indigenous and Canadian history, Women of the Fur Trade, opens the Belfry's new season

“Side-splitting comedy…disarms with its wit, charms…and provokes with its timeless themes.” —Toronto Star

Set in “eighteen hundred and something”, three very different women with very contemporary attitudes sit in a fort on the banks of the Reddish River, sharing their views on life, love, and that hot nerd Louis Riel (“He is SO dreamy…the total package!”)

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.

Directed by Kathleen MacLean, Women of the Fur Trade stars Danica Charlie (Eugenia), Amanda Lisman (Cecilia), Jonathan Mason (Thomas Scott), Aren Okemaysim (Louis Riel), and Kelsey Kanatan Wavey (Marie-Angelique).

“Not only is the play a fun and clever look at…history, but by weaving in modern slang and references, Koncan (who is of Anishinaabe and Slovene descent) highlights how many Indigenous issues from our past are still relevant today.” ​ CBC News
