Women of the Fur Trade is set in the early 1800s along the Reddish River in Treaty One Territory, where three women engage in lively discussions over tea. As they navigate their circumstances with a blend of contemporary slang and historical context, playwright Frances Koncan humorously shifts the focus from the typical male perspective of history to the experiences and challenges faced by women in the evolving fur trade. This production highlights the power and agency of women during a transformative period in Canadian history.
