My short play NOT EXACTLY JOHN WAYNE (A Black Comedy, with Gunslingers) is out now in the Summer 2023 issue of The Coachella Review!
Synopsis: 14 year-old bookworm Tara Lee loves a good story, and has no interest in learning to wield a firearm. But her pragmatic, protective father, Gunther, is determined to teach her how to shoot a gun. To engage her interest, he spins a mythic tale of the old Wild West, complete with gunslingers and desperados. But when fiction begins to infringe on reality, the shooting lesson veers wildly off track.
2m, 2f; bare-bones set required. A Spanish translation by Ercilia Sahores is now available.
