Wild Oats
Wild Oats-by James McClure
A hilarious, rip-snorting send-up of the Old West is based on the famous eighteenth-century Restoration comedy of John O’Keeffe. The present version retains the basic plot structure of the original play while ingeniously transferring the events and people to the American frontier of wild and wooly legend. The local is switched from the drawing rooms of Restoration England to the saloons and prairies of the Old West, and transforms the characters from scheming servants and lustful gentry to music hall girls and stalwart cavalrymen.
“They sow hilarity throughout the two acts and give a new look to mellerdrama and send up the old west in a decidedly new fashion.”
Variety
“ It’s Americana, it’s a goofy spoof of the old Wild West and it’s delicious.”
The Hollywood Reporter
“You won’t find more fun this side of Disneyland.”
