I always have said when it comes to plays about shootings and gun control that it would be a wonderful thing if plays like this didn't have to be written. However, the haunting images that Scott creates in the stage directions that begin this piece won't fail in snapping an audience to attention as they witness the tragedies that occur in a world plagued by gun violence. I remember thinking when I read that this piece borders on 'Theatre of Cruelty' as it forces the audience to face the harsh realities. Emotive, powerful and is sure to hold an audience!
