The Saskatchewan Rebellion
About the Show
The Saskatchewan Rebellion is a play about the events leading up to a fateful fortnight in 1885 when the Last Spike was hammered, Louis Riel was hanged, and the West was opened for business. Canada’s government and corporate elite combine to railroad the Western territories one nail at a time, as the Native and Metis people of Saskatchewan mount a fight to the death for what we now call ‘land claims’, ‘provincial rights’, and ‘local government’. This is the story of the politics, profits and losses of one of Canada’s most violent episodes, a dark tale in the tragicomic voice of one of Canada’s most acclaimed playwrights and directors.
