HORSE LATITUDES

A white archeologist brings her teenage daughter on a dig into Aboriginal territory in the Central Interior of British Columbia. The time is the early 1970’s, when violence, racism and alcoholism in both white and native communities is at a peak. As the two mothers battle to define the very ground they stand on, the daughters form a tentative bond that serves as a land bridge between their disparate lives. Horse Latitudes reveals the contradictory histories that haunt our western landscape.

Horse Latitudes was developed and produced at the Jon Sims Centre for the Arts in San Francisco under the direction of Tracy Ward. Further development has taken place at the Playwright’s Theatre Centre in Vancouver and at Nightwood Theatre, Groundswell Festival, in Toronto.

Horse Latitudes was published in the on-line journal Lodestar and an excerpt in an anthology from Playwrights Canada Press.
