Flaming Guns of the Purple Sage is a sadistic new satire
by Jane Martin. A Southwest Regional Premiere!
Big 8, a feisty rodeo
competitor is a bitter critter, facing foreclosure on the Wyoming ranch
where she rehabilitates injured rodeo cowboys. The arrival of a
shocking woman named Shedevil and a one eyed Ukranian biker named Black
Dog ushers in outrageous violence and horror in this shoot ‘em up, knock
‘em up, cut ‘em up comic romp that roasts the cowboy mentality of pulp
western writers like Zane Grey.
"Borrows a heap of
corniness from the B movie Westerns and mixes a few pieces of horror in
this hilarious, rip snortin' and effusively bloody play." -
