Notes: A great play for four daring women! The full length version of this play was shortened to create Act Two for Buffalo Kill: Two Brutal Comedies, which ran Off Broadway at the 29th Street Rep. Act One was The Killer And The Comic
Synopsis: Four con-Women from upstate New York-- Jo, Sam, Tommi, and Charlie -- have joined for their weekly game of poker. Tonight the stakes are higher as they chomp cigars, guzzle whiskey, recant razor-sharp dialogue, and plot to expose the shady under-dealings of one of their own. Guns, revenge, karma, and "nothing wild but the night".
