Kevin Loring's wickedly funny satire about a lone First Nations member taking on the system lands at Rebecca Cohn—expect sharp political comedy that's part absurdist, part necessary truth-telling.
A Savage Society (Vancouver) and Belfry Theatre (Victoria) co-production in association with NAC Indigenous Theatre (Ottawa). From director and Governor General’s Award-winning playwright Kevin Loring of the Nlaka’pamux Nation comes a wickedly funny satire about power, politics, and procreation. Little Red Warrior, the last remaining member of the Little Red Warrior First Nation, discovers construction has begun on his ancestral lands. In a fit of rage, he attacks an engineer, gets arrested, thrown in jail, and assigned a court-appointed lawyer, Larry. Much to the dismay of his wife, Larry invites a displaced Little Red Warrior to stay with them. But when you invite a coyote into your coop, he might just walk away with your chickens.
