On Thin Ice
By Drew Hayden Taylor

In the thriller On Thin Ice, an Indigenous couple makes their way to an isolated cottage after their car falls through an ice road. Suffering from hypothermia, they are saved by the arrival of the non-Indigenous cottage owners, one of whom is a nurse. Once the injured couple are resuscitated, the cottage owners discover that the “accident” was not necessarily accidental, and the histories and alternative agendas at play converge in a shocking and brutal ending.

Cast of 1 Indigenous woman, 1 Indigenous man, 1 settler woman, and 1 settler man

Hailed by the Montreal Gazette as one of Canada’s leading Native dramatists, Drew Hayden Taylor writes for the screen as well as the stage and contributes regularly to North American Native periodicals and national newspapers. His plays have garnered many prestigious awards, and his beguiling and perceptive storytelling style has enthralled audiences in Canada, the United States and Germany. One of his most established bodies of work includes what he calls the Blues Quartet, an ongoing, outrageous and often farcical examination of Native and non-Native stereotypes.
