In 1868, one of the father’s of confederation, Thomas D’Arcy McGee was shot on his way home after a late night session in parliament. James Patrick Whelan was arrested, tried, and (possibly erroneously) hung for the crime. All his happened here in Ottawa and it’s the subject of Pierre Brault’s enormously popular one-man show – Blood on the Moon.
Blood on the Moon runs until February 5th at the Great Canadian Theatre Company at Hollan/Wellington. Visit their website for full details.
