Anishinaabe/Slovene playwright Frances Koncan creates three imaginary women to poke fun at Louis Riel and to trash the so-called Father of Confederation. What does the “A” in John A. MacDonald stand for? “Asshole”.

Primary Trust is a mild-mannered little play – no sex, no drugs, no rock and roll. Nothing offensive. And that might be exactly what audiences are looking for. What with all the threats flying across the 49th parallel, we’ve had it up to here with ‘offensive’.

At a time in the theatre when there is so much that is lightweight, I applaud Mitch and Murray Productions that consistently offers exciting, provocative fare, for taking on such a difficult play. The hunger amongst Vancouver theatre-goers for relevant theatre, however challenging, is obvious: the run is sold out.

Wonderful Joe. Wonderful Ronnie Burkett who describes this new show as, “a love letter to imagination, hope, and the art of filling broken hearts with gold.”
