Man with a Gun? Meet Gideon’s Bible…

Pete’s got a gun, and he’s ready to use it. He checks into his motel room… only to find Gideon, the chatty bible on the bedside table.

Gideon (being, ya know, a bible) doesn’t get out much. Still, he has plenty to say… much to Pete’s annoyance.

As ideas about morality, the Bible, and God fly, the clock ticks. Gideon and Pete spar and bond as they are forced to deal with their inadequacies. Unfortunately, time is short…

Can Gideon sway Pete before Pete pulls the trigger?

Loosely inspired by “Rocky Raccoon” by The Beatles, and “Freud’s Last Session” by Mark St. Germain.

Show History:
Bradley and Daniel have been performing together for the better part of a decade. While they have never agreed on religion, they have always bonded over good theatre. Last fall, Bradley (a big Beatles fan) pitched Daniel the idea of writing a play using a Gideon’s Bible as a character – an idea he got listening to the Beatles’ song “Rocky Raccoon." Eight months, several drafts, and dozens of philosophical discussions later, they brought on their dear friend Alicia LeBlanc to help bring the story to stage. In conjunction with the 2018 Hollywood Fringe Festival, the three are excited to present the world premiere of “Gun and a Motel Bible."
