Another hunter, according to the association's files, rode out on the range in search of game, dismounted to reconnoiter, sighted an animal, shot it, rushed up, knife in hand, to slit...

At the heart of the play are two unnatural mother-daughter relationships. In one, an iron-willed mother has crushed her child's personality, in the other, a wispy woman vainly seeks the affection of her daughter, a shrill hysteric who detests her.
