Flaming Guns of the Purple Sage

Something for all generations, imagine Hopalong Cassidy dating Carrie, or Miss Kitty chasing Chuckie in an Addams Family-version of “Gunsmoke.” Set in deepest Wyoming, Flaming Guns of the Purple Sage is a macabre comedy that pits the code of the West against contemporary darkness. Jane Martin’s bodacious crossover comedy mixes horror and hilarity. If one thinks “Neil Simon meets Stephen King,” one understands how this hit from the renowned Humana Festival of New American Plays had audience members clutching their sides from laughter.
