You know that old quote about how the road to hell is paved with good intentions? That pretty much sums up “The Thanksgiving Play” by Larissa FastHorse. It’s a cringe comedy that follows a group of well-meaning white theatre nerds as they desperately try to create a politically correct Thanksgiving show, without the guidance of an Indigenous person. Larissa joins Tom to talk about the inspiration for the play, performative activism in the theatre world, and how wanting to be seen as doing the right thing isn’t actually the same as doing the right thing.
