Three plays : Lawing and jawing; Forty yards; Woofing

A lively courtroom in a small Georgia town opens the collection, where Judge Dunfumy presides with a mix of bluster and dry wit. His sharp eye lands on a “pretty girl” in the front row before he summons the first case: a husband accused of assaulting his wife amid allegations of money, work, and long‑standing resentment. The dialogue crackles with Southern dialect, humor, and a keen eye for the power dynamics that shape everyday life.

The companion pieces continue this focus on community moments. “Forty Yards” moves the action to a local field, where a spirited contest reveals pride and rivalry among neighbors. In “Woofing,” a neighborhood dispute over a barking dog becomes a conduit for larger questions about belonging and responsibility. Together, the three one‑acts showcase vibrant characters, brisk pacing, and a satirical lens on the quirks of small‑town society.
