NOTES
All characters are dressed accordingly. The gun used is a trick gun, and the gunshot sound comes from offstage. The bloodstain is created when the actor hits his head against trick-blood capsules in the wall—either that, or there are capsules at the back of his head but under a wig. This play was written as an exercise for a college playwriting class and has never been produced.
