A TRICKSTER FABLE OF LAND, LOVE, AND THE LAW
Red is the last remaining member of the Little Red Warrior First Nation. When he discovers a land development company has invaded his traditional territory and started condo construction, he attacks one of the engineers in a fit of rage. Red meets Larry, his court-appointed lawyer, who bails him out of jail and invites him to stay in his home—much to the dismay of Larry’s wife, Desdemona. But Desdemona’s disdain for Red soon turns to ardour, and Larry learns that when you invite a coyote into your coop, he might just walk away with all the chickens.
A wickedly funny satire about power, politics, and procreation from Governor General Award-winning playwright, Kevin Loring, a member of the Nlaka’pamux Nation from the Lytton First Nation, a WCT favourite, and writer of Where the Blood Mixes.
