"The Shipbuilder" by Ken Mitchell - A great local Saskatchewan history play (1978)
"Set in the 1930's in Saskatchewan, The Shipbuilder is based on a true story of a Finnish homesteader who built a huge iron ship on his prairie farm. In Ken Mitchell's play, Jaanus Karkulainen is clever, hardworking, and affluent despite the drought and depression. His brother Jukka has adapted to the Canadian prairie way of life, but Jaanus is an anti-social and fiercely independent man who refuses to involve himself in the community. He has driven away his wife and lost his daughter, and decides his only hope is to build a ship to take him home to Finland, despite the fact that he is miles from the ocean. Ken Mitchell brilliantly evokes the hardships of a prairie homesteader's life, and draws a compelling portrait of the mad shipbuilder and his strange obsession."
