"Somethin's rotten in the steak of Denmark!"
Bubba Horatio in Smoked Hamlet
Ham and Bubba Horatio try to catch the conscience of the 'Barbecue King' by
showing a video of Mel Gibson playing in a Shakespeare play.
In the late 1980s, Chuck found himself transplanted to the middle of the 'Cowboy Belt.' After recovering from culture shock, he found much to enjoy and even admire about 'The Cowboy Culture.' Using an affectionate outsider's glance, Chuck has tried to 'marry' rodeos, barbecue, and pickups to cultural icons, both high and low.
Works:
The Politically Correct Lone Ranger (a radio play)
Smoked Hamlet
