Our last president was a real stinker. But Victor Dowager will blow away those past failures like dried crap in the wind!

Social justice!

Environmental consciousness!

The United Province of Peoples will be a leading country for change. And most importantly, we will resolve the civil unrest from the Hun province within the UPP.

But something isn’t right.

When Victor became president…

He began to stink.

The air is thick.

Bodies are falling.

But democracy must drive forward.

Louis Riel: A Comic-Strip Stage Play is Chester Brown's critically acclaimed and award-winning graphic novel adapted for the stage by Zach Fraser with dynamic and playful two-dimensional puppetry. This gripping historical drama follows Riel, known as "The Father of Manitoba" from the famous Red River Resistance through to the Battle of Batoche and his subsequent trial. Madman or visionary? Traitor or patriot? Louis Riel: A Comic-Strip Stage Play is charged with controversy, unflinching in its depiction of our historical forefathers. This epic tale steams through early Canadian history, revealing a rugged and treacherous landscape both in life and politics. Louis Riel: A Comic-Strip Stage Play is part adventure story, part history lesson, and a completely fascinating theatrical event.
