Before the play I saw last night started, management made a brief statement of support for Ukraine.
The play was Ride the Cyclone.
The play contained a character from Ukraine who was played as an drunk, drunkenness' being portrayed as an element of Ukrainian culture. The play makes reference to the Ukrainian character having lost his mother to radiation from Chernobyl.
It was set in a town called Uranium is Saskatchewan. It's portrayed as a backwater province, more ridiculous than anything else.
I went with my whole family, including my son, who is entering a Ph.D program in nuclear engineering, with the idea of participating in a last chance bid to save the world.
One has to have a sense of humor.
I have to say, the offensive stuff aside, the play was very enjoyable, with very talented performers, a rather witty funny mocking script and outstanding production values.
My whole family was needling me on the ride home about "Uranium, Saskatchewan."
Witty, really.
