This Is Bull

When a woman walks in to apply for a job as a writer, the interviewer is absolutely thrilled to have a someone so qualified for the position. However, when he discovers that she is left-handed, he changes his tune. Everyone knows that left-handed people can't write, and he says the best he can do is give her a job as a writer's assistant. Fortunately for her and those who come later, she refuses to accept the absurd, irrational decision.

Note: This play was inspired by the statue of the Fearless Girl installed in front of the charging bull on Wall Street.

Testimonials:

• "Laugh out loud funny and sly as hell about puncturing our societal weirdness on discrimination. Jeff Dunne creates a comic nightmare straight out of a Monty Python sketch. I would love to see this onstage where I can guarantee even the left-handed people, like myself, would laugh our heads off. And now I'm wondering, how DO matadors get hired?" (John Busser, New Play Exchange, 2021)
