 THE CRITICS GO WILD FOR TACT’S WILD WESTERN ABUNDANCE!

“EXCEPTIONALLY RICH...an Old West version of ‘Thelma and Louise’…TACT’s satisfying revival is the sort of production that makes you realize how much you’ve missed a playwright’s voice.”  – The New York Times   NYT CRITICS’ PICK

“AFFECTING…EFFECTIVE…TOUCHES THE HEART...The polished revival is staged with restraint and wit by Jenn Thompson.”  – The Associated Press

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Crimes of the Heart, comes the breathtaking tall tale of Bess and Macon, two mail-order brides lured to the plains of Wyoming by the promise of new beginnings. Beth Henley’s fierce and funny adventure spans a 25 year friendship as wild and unpredictable as the untamed West itself, unearthing along the way, the dark underside of American mythology and the unbreakable bonds of female friendship.
