This is great entertainment! No deep musing, no subtext, no social commentary (unless you want to overthink it). Two men, not fond of each other but both fond of “the girl”. Two men on the opposite sides of morality, one might say. The wealthy man with his middle-class arrogance, the working man with no pretentions. Face to face, this is the showdown. Money versus the simple life. Which will The Girl choose?

Insults turn to fisticuffs, then gunplay. The none-too-bright butler (understatement) is busy sneaking a snort of whiskey, and in any case cannot grasp much of anything that is going on. Dim bulb, he. An entertaining, likeable, but useless dim bulb.

Bang-bang! Oh no! What to do? And so ends Scene I. Scene II…it’s a whopper! Surprising, satisfying, and good fun!

TIMOTHY C. GOODWIN, LUKE HOFMAIER, and PERRI YANIV portrayed their roles perfectly. Just the right touch for this tiny play with a mighty one-two punch.
