Fight On! Part 1
"An Account of the Scintillating True Life Adventures in the Canadian North West Mounted Police of Francis Jeffrey Dickens"
Written and directed by Guy Sprung
With additional sardonic, ironic and iconic commentary by First Nations' writer Drew Hayden Taylor
"This cross-cultural, multilingual, meta-Brechtian romp set during the late 19th century is the company's most ambitious production to date; incorporating masks, multimedia, dance, buffoonery and authentic, embarrassing historical pronouncements. The talented cast of 9 plays over 70 characters!"
