This is a little play I'd been scribblin' off and on for some years and finally became satisfied a few years ago that it was about as complete as it could be.
Cross Country takes place on the back yard patio of a suburban southern California home on a warm and beautiful June day. The action transpires from mid-afternoon to early dusk.
Leonard, a middle aged college professor, relaxes and enjoys a glass of wine and a pretentious novel while his wife, Rosemary, struggles with the finer points of horticulture and their loveless marriage. Today is the day of their daughter Margaret’s prom. Her date is Henry Ford.
It’s all a rather typical spring day, with the greatest challenge being the next door neighbor’s annoyingly loud dog. Then a homeless vagabond shows up armed with a sawed off shotgun and a mysterious grievance. A hostage situation of sorts thus ensues, resulting in a transformation that forever changes the life of every character in the play.
