Moses’ play is bold, radically changing form and style between its two acts. The first half is a series of short poetic scenes staging the courtship and marriage of Almighty Voice (James Dallas Smith) and White Girl (Michaela Washburn) and their flight after he shoots a Mountie. Washburn is compelling from the start as the confident, sensitive White Girl, and there’s humour in how she asserts her female power in a number of ways. Smith’s approach to Almighty Voice initially seems somewhat single-note but he warms into the character — and importantly, into a deep connection with Washburn.
