Canadian Pacific Scandal

Part six in the cycle of Michael Hollingsworth’s epic cycle of fifteen plays known as The History Of The Village Of The Small Huts. Canadian Pacific Scandal dramatizes the expansive aspirations of “the little colony that grew” as post-Confederation Ottawa sets its sights on the rich resources of the West. The time is the 1870’s, the height of the British Empire and Victorian age, as society is shaken by the revolutionary trade and communications technologies of the day — the railway and the telegraph lines that follow its track. Written and directed by Michael Hollingsworth.
