Both the new script and the original short story (which is now in the public domain) are included in this book. Considerable liberty was taken to make the story suitable for the stage, as well as to address the rather dated and harsh views in the original story concerning family and community. Changes are outlined in the book's Introduction.This adaptation is part of the Small-Time Press "Adhockery Dramas" series, and was created especially with high-school and college groups in mind. Permissions include the right for non-profit groups and organizations to produce the play without payment of royalties.

The Ransom of Red Chief
Brian Kral, O. Henry
Paperback (Anchorage Pr, Aug. 1, 1980)Play script by Brian Kral. A fresh adaptation of the hilarious O'Henry classic, set in the turn-of-the-century West. Flexible set (space only; the interior of a cave.) Cast of 2 men, 1 boy. Ideal vehicle for touring.This winning story captures all the charm and exaggerated comedy of O'Henry's classic about two bungling kidnappers who fall prey to their young "victim." Armed with the latest inventions of a rapidly-changing America, they attempt to make their fortunes by holding for ransom "a two-legged sky-rocket named Johnny Dorset" -- who insists he's an Indian chief! The outcome is a side-splitting combination of historical fact and entertaining fancy, and has been accorded ovations by every audience who saw the original production by the Rainbow Company of Las Vegas. Since it is pure O'Henry, HIS applause is presumed guaranteed.
