Beginning with the breakfast scene where former Rodeo Queen Big 8 serves bacon, eggs, and Bud Light, Flaming Guns of the Purple Sage, proves a solid anecdote for gloom and doom. Through a loveable cast of twisted characters, playwright Jane Martin spoofs rodeo queens, bad guys, true love and grotesque crime.
