Would like to rehearse it at least a couple times, once around a table and once on its feet. Set in the formerly oil-rich desert southwest, this play explores the lives of three generations of women living under on roof. The story centers on Jo, who has taken in her mother to be cared for after the death of her father. Jo’s daughter, Leota Ruth, a self-mutilating poet approaching middle-age, is in her mother’s care. The dialogue is simultaneously hilarious and tragic, as these women and a neighbor tear and rip into one another’s psyche with love and abandon mixed with the mystery of the cookies containing rat poison and the poison that lies just beneath the surface of their bittersweet and all-too-familiar lives. The play can be read in its entirety on Edward Crosby’s website: www.edwardcrosbywells.com. If interested, contact Ed through MySpace message or by email edd@edwardcrosbywells.com Put DESERT DEVILS in the subject line.

All roles available. THE STORY: poignant story of Mrs. Watts, an aging widow living with her son and daughter-in-law in a three-room flat in Houston, Texas. Fearing that her presence may be an imposition on others, and chafing under the watchful eye of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Watts imagines that if she can get away and return to her old home in the town of Bountiful, she is sure to regain her strength, dignity and peace of mind. She attempts to run away. When she reaches a bus station on the last part of her short journey, she falls into the hands of a sheriff whom her son and daughter-in-law have put on her trail. The sheriff, a kindly fellow, allows her to complete the final stage of her journey. She proceeds to Bountiful and makes a lonely pilgrimage to the scene of her old home. Only too soon she learns that the friends of her youth have all died or scattered, and her home is no longer the spacious mansion of her memories but a crumbling wreck. She has the supreme satisfaction of plunging her hands into the strength-giving earth, leaving her with a sense of that strength and dignity that will give her the courage to survive. When her son and daughter-in-law appear on the scene to take her back to Houston, she consents to return quietly, secure in the knowledge that the remainder of her existence will be enriched as a result of her last contact with Bountiful.
