Description
This is a play about Jubal "Tom Mix" McCabe. Jubal is a happy-go-lucky, wanna-be cowboy movie star. As a youngster he was a "little Tom Mix", cleaning out a nest of imaginary outlaws in the family backyard in typical Tom Mix fashion. Those were the days of the popular dream: to grow up to be like Tom Mix. His every word intonation and body movements are out of the old western movies of the early 20th century. Jubal speaks in the dialect and jargon as seen in the onscreen 'intertitles' of the 'silents' and heard by characters in the 'talkies'. He has been building his own "Mixville" in his backyard in the southern California town of Victorville. Aiyanna Eskaminzim, a return visitor to Mixville is a Native American. Her Jicarilla Apache name, 'Aiyanna', means 'eternal blossom'. Eskaminzim means "big mouth". She has the patience of a saint and the psyche of a poet with a "big mouth". She has come back to rebuild Jubal's "Injun village". We'll see 'bout that!In this "episode" Jubal and Aiyanna are confronted with the meth addiction of their grandson Jimoota and his girlfriend Dawn.
