Sir John A                   

Greystone Theatre                

Now – Sat         

You might be skeptical that a comedy could deal with colonization and reconciliation but in the hands of playwright Drew Hayden Taylor, you’re in for a hilarious time. Sir John A is being presented by students in the University of Saskatchewan Department of Drama. It tells the story of an Anishinaabe man, Bobby Rabbit, who convinces his friend to help him dig up Sir John A. Macdonald’s bones and hold them for ransom. Years before, a medicine pouch was taken from Bobby’s grandfather when he was in residential school. The pouch wound up in a British Museum and Bobby wants it back. The former Prime Minister even makes an appearance to share his own opinions. Tickets are $17 – $22
