Set in a desolate motel room on the edge of the Mojave desert, the play has something of the timeless universality of a Greek tragedy. The play explores themes of love, hate, and myths of the Old West. This volume also includes 'The Sad Lament of Pecos Bill on the Eve of Killing his Wife', a comic operetta which takes an irreverent view of American heroes and heroics.
