Playwright Yvette Nolan's new project is called The Unplugged

A Canadian playwright with Indigenous roots wants to send a message while entertaining crowds with her new play The Unplugging.
 
Yvette Nolan’s latest work was inspired by another story with similar ideas, her mother and the treatment of Aboriginal women in general.
 
The basic idea is two women who are banished from their community after this unplugging and they have to dig down inside and remember what they know in order to go on.
She was struggling with how we do not treat our elders well, especially our women elders.
 
Nolan was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan and was interested in writing and performing arts from a young age.
 
The play opens in Toronto next week and more information can be found online about her work through Native Earth.
