A personal theatrical entry point into America’s gun debate

E. M. Lewis’s play uses autobiographical material to examine America’s relationship with guns, tracing experiences that span a rural Oregon farming community and the urban settings of Los Angeles and New York. Written for performance by a single actor, it frames these true stories as a shared first-person account rather than a conventional policy argument. The script places personal memory alongside the public debate over gun control, maintaining an explicitly nonpartisan stance while pressing for conversation across entrenched positions. Its subject is not only firearms themselves, but the cultural assumptions and lived experiences that surround them.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Theater readers interested in contemporary solo-performance scripts
  • Readers exploring personal perspectives on gun culture and gun-control debates
  • Drama collections focused on U.S. social issues

Book overview

In The Gun Show award-winning playwright E. M. Lewis tells the story of America's relationship with guns through the prism of her own personal experiences. From a farming community in rural Oregon to the big cities of Los Angeles and New York an actor shares Ms. Lewis's unique perspective and true stories about America's most dangerous pastime as if they were his or her own with brutal honesty and poignant humor. Leaning neither right nor left The Gun Show jumps into the middle of the gun control debate and asks "Can we have a conversation about this?"
