Riel is haunted by the ghost of his nemesis, Thomas Scott, while fighting for the rights of the Métis people, and having his faith tested by severe personal turmoil. Acclaimed by critics and educators.

Excerpt from the premiere of 2000 at the Winspear Centre. Paul David Mercier as Louis Riel and Julien Constantin as the ghost of Thomas Scott.
"Yesterday, my cast had the opportunity to perform for the Peavine Settlement. I have NEVER felt more welcomed- they had a billboard for us inviting all of the community to join. We were late due to roads and they still insisted that we eat before performing, and they had prepared a fantastic meal for us. Their community elders were there to watch, and the police even stopped by to watch as well. I felt so honoured to be there, performing a musical version of a part of history that is so very important to the Métis people and to Canada!"
