DOGFALL is an award-winning stage play written by American playwright Scot Lahaie.
The Setting: The slums of Dallas, Texas. The year is 2004.
Summary: Dr. Jake McKenzie, Dallas’ famed suicide doctor, is on trial. Mike Howard, a vigilante from the far political right, plays judge, jury, and executioner to the kidnapped doctor. Political and religious ideologies collide as the two urban titans grapple for the political high ground, even for their very lives. The resulting tempest of venomous philosophy and twisted dogma make it difficult to separate predator from prey or zealot from ideologue. But when the doctor’s darkest secret comes to light, both characters are thrown into turmoil, forcing the play to its frightful conclusion. Laced with humor, DOGFALL is an unflinching exploration of the political and social morass of the right-to-die debate in America today.

MIKE HOWARD, a right-wing radical. Twenty-eight years old.
JAKE MCKENZIE, Dallas’ famed suicide doctor. Sixty-one years old.
MRS. BANOCEK, Mike’s elderly neighbor.
