The Story
(3 men, 2 women, various locations done simply)
When Matt leaves Charlotte at a fancy restaurant and sticks her with the check because he's too chicken to break up with her, Charlotte's best friend decides that Matt needs to be taught a lesson. But when the gun she uses to "scare" Matt is actually loaded with live bullets, things go a bit sideways.
​
Matt's two best friends, Perry and Randy end up deeply embroiled in the mess and yet able to crack wise through out.
​
And then, there's the narrator! He's really just the real narrator's cousin who's doing him a favor. Things get very sticky with him going off script and gumming up the works of the whole play. He may even get shot himself.
​
Cut One Leg is, at heart, a comedy in the vein of The Play That Goes Wrong, but the themes of identity, betrayal, and revenge bring a serious flavor to this hilarious romp.
