What do you suppose would happen if two Indigenous dudes decided to dig up the bones of Sir John A. Macdonald, and hold them ransom until the Canadian government returned something that had been stolen decades ago?
You'll have to see Drew Hayden Taylor's hilarious road trip/musical/historical comedy Sir John A: Acts of a Gentrified Ojibway Rebellion to find out. But in the meantime, join us for an exclusive chat with Drew - one of Canada's most celebrated and prolific writers.
You'll hear all about how an Ojibway man came to write a comedy about Canada's first Prime Minister, the importance of humour in Indigenous society, and Drew's thoughts on how opening a window between cultures can help us all better understand each other.
Also, he's funny as heck.
