Synopsis
Breakfast of Champions
Robert Egan from Kurt Vonnegut
Published by Samuel French Inc
Large Mixed Cast
This play tells of the fateful meeting between Dwayne Hoover, Pontiac dealer, and Kilgore Trout, Vonnegut's alter ego, in Midland City, where Dwayne bites off Trout's finger
Dwayne has gone crazy because of bad chemicals in his brain
And because he read one of Trout's novels (recommended to him by eccentric millionaire Elliot Rosewater), which has convinced him that everyone is a robot except him
This adaptation, which is perfect for reader's theatre, perfectly preserves the anarchic humor of the original and provides a fine directing and acting challenge
