Audio Interview
The play Misty Lake had its premiere in Winnipeg in July 1999 and has since had productions in Alberta, BC, and other parts of Manitoba. The play was written on the basis of interviews that Darrell Racine conducted with Elizabeth Samuel in 1997.
Here is an interview between Dale Lakevold and Darrell Racine that looks back to Darrell’s interview sessions with Elizabeth and the origins of the play, and to issues currently facing Indigenous people in Canada. The following interview took place in Brandon in May 2010.
Read a published version of the interview in the spring 2012 issue of the journal alt.theatre.
