In 1990 the small desert town of Blythe, CA had a medium-security men's prison built in its backyard. Some locals loved the huge boost to the local economy, but others despised its very existence. At the opening of BLYTHE, BOB FOLEY has a serious problem... an escaped convict just stole his tow-truck from right outside of Andy's diner. The flirtatious waitress, BETH, is more concerned about her new love interest, the handsome new prison guard, FLOYD PETERSON, who promises to save the day. What ensues is hilarious. Although BLYTHE takes place in a local diner, the centerpiece of the play is the new prison. The play's author, Dan McMullan, was an inmate at that prison when he wrote this play. BLYTHE is an intelligent and deliciously witty play about the explosion of prisons built in the state of California in the 1990s.
