Three über-cool \"it\" girls take aim at Peg and make her life utterly miserable. When her beloved Grandmother dies she just wants to disappear. Then an unexpected gift arrives; inside it, Peg finds three cast-iron Canadian soldiers. In despair, she throws them against the floor. How can they help her? They are so small, and the girls' shadow is so big. But, miraculously, the toys come to life as Indigenous snipers from World War I, just in time to wage an epic battle against the girls. A powerful play that will appeal to audiences both young and old, \u003cem\u003eIron Peggy\u003c\/em\u003e uses a creative and ever-surprising blend of voices and sceneries to tell this moving story. With 2018 marking the 100th-year anniversary of WWI, \u003cem\u003eIron Peggy\u003c\/em\u003e is an excellent introduction to its history and a touching testimony that not only celebrates the First Nation participation in the war effort but also a young girl's personal victory. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eIron Peggy\u003c\/em\u003e, by award-winning, international Métis performer and playwright Marie Clements, was commissioned by the Vancouver International Children's Festival and premiered at Vancouver's Waterfront Theatre in 2019.
