Based on actual reports, writings and speeches, Metis actor John D. Huston (SHYLOCK, Underneath the Lintel, two Sherlock Holmes adventures, A Christmas Carol) and writer Keir Cutler (Teaching Shakespeare) resurrect a government bureaucrat who attempts to justify the unjustifiable: Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s vision for Canada’s Natives and the ongoing repercussions.
A compelling look at what is “civilized”.
Directed by Paul Hopkins (A.D. Shakespeare in the Park, Montreal; Actor: Stratford Festival, More Tales of the City).
ESSENTIAL VIEWING, expertly crafted, poignantly written–well-researched, truthfully stated, masterfully performed.
GO.
“Civilized may be one of the most important things you ever see on stage—take your parents, your friends, your children. Every Canadian (and beyond) should be sitting in those theatre seats.” – Apt613.ca
