WRITER'S BOOKSHELF

A play in two acts, contemporary comedy, 2f, minimal set

Justice in Frikken, Texas is sometimes hard to come by,
unless you can take a look at things from the local perspective...
then anything is possible!

Frikken Justice has a rare combination of sophistication, wit, and incredible humor. La'Nelle Gambrell possesses a genius in her writing that is evident in each intricately interwoven scene! My first standing ovation!

---Myrna Nichol, actor/director, Myrann Theatre

The laughs started with the opening scene and continued to the end! This play is ‘Frikken’ amazing, I laughed so hard my sides hurt! Frikken Justice is a must see!

---Cindy Toutloff, Alberta Foothills desk & Derrick Club

Frikken Justice has that perfect balance of pathos and hilarity that every director searches for. Unforgettable characters in hysterical situations brought the house down. I love this ‘Frikken’ play!

---Leslie Broussard, director, ThreeForm Stage Productions

Read the synopsis....

When Hollis Butler the dog killer strikes again, Mary Louise Dodds, local animal shelter volunteer and recently widowed Emma Ruth Pressley take it upon themselves to see that justice is done in Frikken, Texas.

Emma Ruth lost her husband just last Christmas and now Hollis has poisoned her little dog. Her only son, Booger has gone off to A & M on a synchronized swimming scholarship and her housekeeper Carmelita has retired to her bedroom and won’t come out. Just when things couldn’t possibly get any worse she discovers a secret about her dead husband that she would rather have never known!

Mary Louise volunteers at the local animal shelter and she’s on a mission to find a home for every rescued animal in Frikken. But lately she’s been distracted, she thinks her husband Buford may be having an affair--every time he goes out of town several Viagra disappear. And now, Madam Duvolga, the local palm reader has just told Mary Louise’s 73 year old Auntie Rea that she’s going to marry again and her future husband will be the next man that asks her to have a cup of coffee!

Their neighbor, Mr. Wilson, was once abducted by aliens and now he’s hearing voices again-this time underneath Main Street. Dee Dee Partlow, another neighbor, has the members of her motorcycle ministry putting a new roof on her house and bingo partner Mildred Moore has passed away under mysterious circumstances!

Mary Louise and Emma Ruth have lived in Frikken, Texas all their lives and been neighbors for over 30 years. They may argue over the merits of Art Bell and CBN and what to wear to Mildred Moore’s funeral but their friendship has survived Frikken gossip mongers and Gulf Coast hurricanes and when it comes to Frikken Justice, there’s just not much they can’t find a solution for. And not much they won’t do to get it.
