Auto-Destruct

THE STORY: Briefly described, the action of the play is “the story of a man who robbed the Bank of Mexico and married a gas station attendant.” To be sure, there's a bank robbery; a double-cross; a getaway scene; and a passel of sneaky, slimy Mexican heavies who, after being shot, shortly reappear in different costumes. And the hero does marry the person who repairs his car—although with identities shifting so rapidly it's not always easy to tell who's who. But, in this wildly funny parody of the Hollywood western, it is the action that counts and the zany, offbeat, imaginative lunacy that the author provides in nonstop profusion.
