About the Play:
Walsh is a historical documentary by Sharon Pollock of Sitting Bull's exile in Canada after the Montana massacre at Little Big Horn.
Walsh examines Sitting Bull's relationship with Superintendent Walsh of the North West Mounted Police and is the study of the disillusionment of a man who believes in his government's integrity but who is betrayed by that government.
"This is the law," Walsh declares, "but where is the justice?"
In 1973, Walsh premiered at Theatre Calgary. A subsequent production in 1974 at the Stratford Festival's Third Stage brought Sharon Pollock's writing to wide public attention.
Cast: 3 women, 11 men.
What people say:
"Undefinable magic that is the essence of art." — Ottawa Citizen
"Pollock's play takes unrepentant dramatic licence on occasion, but it also puts living flesh on the bare and dusty bones of history." — The Calgary Herald
