Legend $13

Samuel Taylor

Published by Dramatists Play Service

Large Mixed Cast
Although fast and furious and filled with lively action, this delightful comedy is also, in essence, a "dream" play, for it treats the classic period of the Old West as a part of American mythology

It tells of a mysterious, romantic girl who appears in a remote mining town in quest of the fabled West and its legendary heroes, and who finds what she is seeking in an Outlaw, a Sheriff, a Banker and the rough but lovable men of the town

It is comedy that echoes all the facts and fancies, and dreams and illusions, of Western lore as it follows the heroine through a series of lively escapades: from bank robbery to enforced, unaccustomed domesticity after being taken into custody by the Sheriff

In the end a burst of violence seems to shatter the myth which she has summoned to life, leaving her with no more than memories But, ironically, they are memories which, together with her own story, are sure to merge into yet another legend of the West - to be told and re-told, with suitable embellishments, by generations yet to come

Cast of 15-17 men and 1 woman is required

A lighthearted, captivating and highly inventive spoof of the Old West and its larger-than-life heroes. Presented on Broadway
