Auto Destruct And The Rhesus Umbrella (Paperback)

Paperback. In AUTO-DESTRUCT, the action of the play is "the story of a manwho robbed the Bank of Mexico and married a gas station attendant."To be sure, there's a bank robbery; a double-cross; a getaway scene;and a passel of sneaky, slimy Mexican heavies who, after being shot, shortly reappear in diff erent costumes. And the hero does marry theperson who repairs his car-although with identities shifting so rapidlyit's not always easy to tell who's who. But, in this wildly funny parody ofthe Hollywood western, it is the action that counts and the zany, off beat, imaginative lunacy that the author provides in nonstopprofusion.
