This script is for a one-act stage play. It is set in and inspired by the infamous Voltaire's Basement, a downtown branch of the central Texas chain of used bookstores run by John and Marquetta Tilton. In this fictional story, three women try to earn a living by running a used bookstore in a seedy part of downtown Austin, Texas. The owner, Joy, is in her late 50s; Elle is a writer in her late 40s; Nina is an innocent 16-year-old. Their loose business practices and the location next door to a homeless shelter prevent the store from reaching its maximum potential. The Mamet-styled portrayal is stark and filled with innuendo.

Satire in the Theatre By Chuck Taylor One sometimes has the feeling that theatre is dead in the United States, especially if one looks to Broadway in New York City, which focuses these days on inane musicals and spin offs from animated cartoons, like the Lion King. But heartfelt and exploratory theater, meaningful theatre, continues regionally across the United States. "Beasts and Saints" is an example of such regional theatre from Texas. The setting is a bookstore operated by a cast of Bohemians who haven't the faintest idea on how to turn a buck in the business. Bohemians are not heroic figures in this play, but objects of satire and, at times, sadness. Gorski has the amazing ability to make these Quixote idealists come alive on stage and does a great job of portraying both their beast and saint sides. A lovely read, and based upon an actual bookstore that operated in downtown Austin.

There is a lot of implication here that is dramatic in the dialogue creating much tension, which is something I like. Also, all the main characters are women, and this is unusual, too, especially for satire or settings like this one, a used bookstore in a seedy part of town. I enjoyed reading this and it was easy to understand. I'm not sure what sorts of controversy arose around this play, something mentioned in the introduction, but I can see where this play on stage might not be everyone's favorite cup of tea. I highly recommend it, nonetheless.
