Cowboys Don't Look Down by John Biggs - Dialogue and Script

The play is set in an Ohio town. The scene is a kitchen, large and lit only from above by a weak light and a bright fluorescent tube over the stove. There is a table left and the refrigerator right. It is nearly 4:00 on a fall afternoon, with a pervading feeling that it is raining outside. The play opens with Roger at the table reading going through a stack of long books, yearbooks. Maye enters left.
