"A funny, pigeon-eyed homage to San Francisco." -- Publishers Weekly
Meet these hard-drinking laboratory refugees, who as the infamous "Killer Pigeons" create havoc in San Francisco. They dance into bars, they stick up liquor stores, they spy on socialites, dodge murder raps, and pull a miracle out of their hats. Will they find their way back home to Berkeley? Will they survive the next 15 minutes without a cigarette? Call them "American's Most Wanted," but don't call them pigeons. These swashbuckling outlaws think they're human.
"Uproariously funny farce of politics, guns, corporate money, the Christian Right, and more."-- Midwest Book Review
"Parodies presidential races with caustic vigor, beating around the Bush like a vulture circling its prey, all the way down to its twin teenage narrators." -- San Francisco magazine
Recommended for anyone interested in contemporary American politics.
After seven King Georges a beautiful new Queen ascends the throne of America. . .
Discover contemporary royal America, where sports stars play polo on pogo sticks, tourists queue up to tour opulent palaces, and even Elvis earned a knighthood. In this fanciful rewriting of history, the Czar of Russia is America's closest ally and behind every tree lurks a Canadian spy.
C.D. Payne's first play received its inaugural production at the City Lights Theater Co. in San Jose, CA. (Production rights available, please inquire.)
