Sir John A : acts of a gentrified Ojibway rebellion / a play by Drew Hayden Taylor. by Taylor, Drew Hayden, 1962- Talonbooks, 2018. Call #: 819.254 T239sj Subjects Macdonald, John A. (John Alexander), 1815-1891 -- Drama.   Revenge -- Drama.   Canadian drama -- 21st century.   First Nations -- Drama.   Canadian drama -- First Nations authors.   Canadian drama -- 20th century.   Canada -- History -- 19th century -- Drama. ISBN:  9781772012149 (softcover) Alternate title:  Acts of a gentrified Ojibway rebellion Description:  xiii, 97 p. ; 22 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (p. 96-97). Summary:  "Explores the possibility of reconciliation between Peoples and urgently questions past and contemporary forms of Canadian colonialism. Taylor's twenty-seventh play, Sir John A's characters include Canada's infamous first Prime Minister, red-nosed and pompous, full of patriarchal contempt for those "strange and perplexing Indians," and his contemporary accusers: two Ojibway men and a soul-searching white woman. Bobby Rabbit, Sir John A's irked, Anishinaabe main character, in a fit of anger and revenge, convinces his friend Hugh to accompany him on a "sojourn of justice": to dig up Sir John A. Macdonald's bones and hold them for ransom. Decades before, a medicine pouch belonging to Bobby's grandfather was taken away by the staff of the residential school where he was detained. The precious object was sent to a British Museum exhibition room for conservation--and now Bobby wants it repatriated. Along the way the pair pick up Anya, a young, bright, and opinionated woman fleeing a bad breakup, with conflicting ideas about Sir John A's place in Canadian history. Not to be left out of the argument, Canada's first Prime Minister, broadcasting live from nineteenth-century Ottawa, shows up with opinions of his own. Sir John A: Acts of a Gentrified Ojibway Rebellion is a powerful satire, a creative debate about the past violences of colonial racism and the as yet untested potentiality of restoring harmony between Peoples in Canada. A contemporary classic by Taylor!"--Publisher. Genre:  Comedy plays. Canadian drama.
