JOHN DAVID WESTBY PLAYWRIGHT | SCREENWRITER | ACTOR | DIRECTOR | NEW PLAYS AVAILABLE
A Fargo-esque Comedy Thriller in 2 Acts
What happens after the perfect crime?
In a run-down room at the Bluebird Motor Inn, three unlikely accomplices—Martie, Jack, and Ham—await their ringleader after a chaotic bank heist that may or may not have gone according to plan.
Tensions mount as old loyalties fracture, unspoken love triangles erupt, and their carefully choreographed crime spirals into improvised chaos. When Henry, the heist’s aging mastermind, finally arrives hours late—with a bruised and terrified hostage named Bridget—paranoia explodes. Add to the mix a sleazy associate, a cranky motel manager, and some wildly unreliable cellphones, and the group teeters between existential unraveling and absurd disaster.
As the night unfolds, what began as a calculated act of revenge becomes a sharp and hilarious meditation on betrayal, desperation, and the universal laws of karma.

There was a plan . . .
Three over-educated and unlikely bank robbers find themselves where no suburbanites should - in a seedy run down motel in the middle of nowhere with stacks of cash - when their plans spin widely out of control and force them to grapple with suspicion, a masked hostage, and the universal laws of cause and effect.
The plan was simple—until karma, chaos, and an unexpected hostage turned their amateur robbery into a surreal night of reckoning.
