Lone Star and Laundry and Bourbon
by James Mclure

This mini collection contains two one act plays by James McLure: Lone Star and Laundry and Bourbon.

Lone Star takes place in the cluttered backyard of a small-town Texas bar.

Roy, a brawny, macho type who had once been a local high-school hero, is back in town after a hitch in Vietnam and trying to reestablish his position in the community.

Laundry and Bourbon is a conversation between three women that is increasingly edged with bitter humor.

What emerges from it is a sense of Elizabeth’s inner strength and her quiet understanding of the turmoil which has beset her husband since his return from Vietnam.
