"The Governor of the Dew emerged from a story that the playwright Floyd Favel’s mother told him. The nostalgia of this marvelous world is carried by three characters: the narrator, his mother and the old woman Rosie. A story that the old beaver tells Rosie is tragic: the white woman whom he had brought with him into the cabin had made all of the beavers sick. All the members of his family are dead except himself. His love had caused the demise of his people. The play evokes in filigree the story of the population of the Canadian west and the consequences for the Cree people – sickness and death." (Source)
