Semi-Finalist - Eugene O'Neill National Playwrights Conference 2007

Guy, a successful truck salesman in his mid sixties, is dying. Haunted by painful memories of his past: his unforgiving mother, the wife and family that he deserted, and the career that he torpedoed, Guy retreats into the fantasy world of The Cowboy, his alter ego, the ultimate self-made man, who embodies the magnificence of the lost American Frontier where a man with no past, no burdens, and no home is still capable of greatness. But when Guy's estranged, middle-aged daughter, Diane, arrives full of self-doubt having followed in his footsteps and become a wandering, rootless cowboy herself, Guy must face the real-world consequences of his actions. Is Diane there to make peace or to exact revenge? And will Guy be able to help her before it's too late?
