GUNSLINGER |
A Wild West Show
by RICHARD CRANE
Original Music by JOSS BUCKLEY
| Cast: | A minimum of 10 (8m, 2f) which can expand to over 30. |
| Suggested Age Range: | 10 upwards |
| Approx. Running Time: | 105 minutes [ + interval] |
| Music: | 12 songs, some solos; piano, drums and guitar - all on stage, in the saloon, if possible. |
| Set: | Simple but expansive, incorporating the auditorium if possible; centred on the No-Name Saloon but continually spreading into the "wide open spaces". |
| Synopsis: | All the archetypal
characters of the Wild West appear in this extravaganza which also includes
almost every known episode of that over-exposed period of American history. "The challenge of Gunslinger is to take it seriously," writes the author, "to believe in its vastness, to understand that it contains not a word of 'send-up' and to enjoy it." If you believe that then you may even believe some of the far-fetched tales in this fast-moving and lively piece. |
