A new play by experimental performance duo Thank You So Much For Coming, and the culmination of a three year iterative investigation of cowboys, the American frontier, and the history of life on Earth. The play begins when Turner Jackson, a young cowboy, contracts yellow fever and dies on his way home from his first cattle drive. After death, he is met with a bombastic entertainer who attempts to guide him through the next part of his “journey”: understanding his historical and mythic significance.
