    Truth and Reconciliation is more than words. They must be equaled with action. As a means of acknowledging the land and people where we are privileged to live and work, we sought out the wisdom of  Lynn Gehl, an Algonquin Anishinaabe-kwe from the Ottawa River Valley.

    Burning Passions Theatre's Playwriting Circle continues, with a workshop this week of the new play Blanc by Guy Newsham. Facilitated by dramaturge and director Laurel Smith (with performers, left to right, Sachi Lovatt, Justin Hay, and Mitchell Eric Cohen), this work of historical fiction based on true events has a fascinating backstory:

    Synopsis:
    To win in life you need to read the right signals, stack the odds in your favour, and don’t let things spin out of control.

    Francois Blanc and his twin brother Louis, pulled off “the world’s first internet scam”, in 1834. France built chains of semaphore towers, which transmitted government proclamations over long distances in only a few hours. Blanc hacked into the signal to gain advance knowledge of stock market movements, and made a fortune. They were discovered, but the sentence was light, as the semaphore technology was so new there were no laws to properly govern it. Several decades later Francois Blanc re-emerged, successfully managing the Monaco casino on behalf of Queen Caroline. However, his world was flipped by the arrival of Joseph Jagger, a financially-desperate English mill worker, with a fool-proof method to win at roulette. Is Jagger cheating? Blanc is baffled, but Queen Caroline has her own ideas.     ... See MoreSee Less
