One of the most pervasive images in Sarah Gubbins's play COCKED, now in its world premiere production at Victory Gardens under the direction of Joanie Schultz, is an incredibly shiny silver pistol. This prop pistol reveals itself at the end of the first scene in the play--and while it then quickly disappears, we know that it lingers--and that it has a high probability of going off at some point in the play. Likewise, Gubbins's timely play, which is set in Chicago's Andersonville neighborhood and examines our relationship with guns, strikes a balance between tense and frequently hilarious. Gubbins' natural, laugh-out-loud funny dialogue for all three characters in the play never ceases to entertain but the tension underneath those moments of levity also stays present.
