A new Canadian-Scottish musical recounting the extraordinary true tale of Isobel Gunn, a Scottish woman who explored Canada in 1806, living as a man and working for the Hudson’s Bay Company.
After journeying from the remote Orkney Islands, Isobel travelled 1800 miles across the Canadian wilderness as “John Fubbister”, a labourer in the fur trade. But when she unexpectedly gives birth one cold winter morning, Isobel’s identity is revealed…
A celebration of a long-forgotten Canadian hero who had the courage to live freely and the tenacity to follow her dreams. Starring Fringe favourite Melanie Gall from Ingenue and Hockey Stocks and Beaver Pie!
