Rattle

7:30 PM nightly (June 3-6)
2:00 PM matinee (June 6-7)

The Play: October 2017. Winnipeg.

Dan and Bobbie have lived on the same North End street for years and consider themselves family. They also share a similar history – both were taken from their Indigenous mothers as small children and adopted out into non-Indigenous families.

They lost their family, their culture, their identity. Twenty years later, the call for reconciliation will change their lives, and their families’, in unexpected ways.

Rattle received an award for Best Full-Length Play in the Theatre BC Canadian National Playwriting Competition for 2022. It is the fourth in a series of plays by Darrell Racine and Dale Lakevold that explores Indigenous culture and history in Canada.

Funding from the program is through a generous gift from The National Sixties Scoop Healing Foundation of Canada.
