“‘1939’ is so detailed, and so full of life for every single character. When I first saw the early drafts in 2020, I was just completely smitten,” Kirby said. “Ultimately, it’s all to serve,” said Kirby, who attended a Mohawk immersion school from Grades 4 to 12. “The spirit of the play, to serve the survivors, to serve those who didn’t make it home.”
“But then we got into the rehearsal room, and we got to work on certain monologues. I’m not necessarily a professional translator, so some of them might be spotty here and there. But I translated them from what I felt was Evelyne’s perspective which I assume is similar to mine.”Elder Elizabeth Stevens of the Chippewas of Kettle and Stony Point First Nation acted as a script consultant on the project.
