A new Scottish-Canadian musical recounting the extraordinary true tale of Isobel Gunn, a Scottish Orcadian woman who explored Canada in 1806, living as a man and working for the Hudson Bay Company. After journeying from the remote Orkney Islands, Isobel traveled 1800 miles across the Canadian wilderness as John Fubbister, a labourer in the fur trade. But when she unexpectedly gives birth, Isobel's identity is revealed... A celebration of a long-forgotten hero who had the courage to live freely and the tenacity follow her dreams. 'Glorious singing and first-rate storytelling' ***** (Adelaide Advertiser).
