Description
Dead White Writer on the Floor adopts the literary conventions of theatre of the absurd and mystery novels to create one of the funniest and most thought-provoking plays ever about identity politics. In the first act, Billy Jack, Injun Joe, Kills Many Enemies, Old Lodge Skins, Pocahontas, and Tonto find themselves in a locked room with the body of a white writer, which they stash in a closet. None of them can figure out how he died or which of them might have killed him. They realize as they point fingers at each other, however, that they are all profoundly unhappy with their lives as they've been constructed over the past four hundred years. Gradually, they discover the computer on the writer's desk is a dream-catcher, which they can use to rewrite their stereotyped lives in the image of their own inner beings. Imagine their surprise when they reappear in the second act Mike, Jim, Bill, John, Sally and Fred attending an A.A. meeting and realize the white writer is still very much alive among them-- his body in the closet is still warm!
