Breakthrough play by Canada's rising star

What happens in a remote Manitoba reserve when the welfare checks don't arrive? Playwright Ian Ross uses this incident to take a clear-eyed yet compassionate and humourous look at aboriginal life in late 20th century Canada. This play was a major success at the 2001 Edinburg Fringe Festival. Ross has an uncanny knack for writing clever lines that make you burst out laughing a half-second before you see the tragedy in the situation. He won the Governor-General's award for the best play published in Canada for this script.
