“My Tar Sands Duck Dinner with Andrea’ is a play on the film by Louis Malle by a similar name.

“It’s a one man-woman show,” she smiles, dressed in her signature black fedora and black pin-stripe suit and scarlet red tie emblazoned with half a white maple leaf..

“It's a documentary monologue. Andrea Andreana, Ms. Eco-Fem is a woman whose lost lover is a tar sands engineer."

“And boy is he LOST!”

Andrea meets her old oil sands lover for lunch to reminisce and try to bridge their differences but are rudely interrupted by reality when Don Thompson (then) President of the Oil Sands Developer’s Group invades their tryst with the facts of life in a fossil fuel world.

She's gutsy!

Andrea takes on Hollywood heavies like James Cameron with a critical assessment of his tour of the Athabasca River region.

She relies on global warming guru James Hansen with for support for her cosmic energy plan, forcing her obstinate off-camera oil sands engineer ex-lover to cringe with regret that he’s lost his way.

“Sustainable energy is possible right now, it’s just a matter of your attitude,” says Andrea.And for wymmin who see gender oppressions everywhere,especially embodied by oil sands, industry and all that male world implies,Andrea rises to the occasion and single-handedly strips their hypocrisy away.

“I want to start a fire,” says Andrea’s producer. “I want to burn down this house of deception.”

Critics will find much fodder in this 30 minute send-up.“I’m into equal opportunity when it comes to this kind of expose,” says Andrea’s producer/writer, foreign director Lena Wurstmiler.
