Bang is the story Joan Vollmer, known to history, if at all, as the woman shot by William Burroughs. In this one-woman show, written by Dan Born and originally staged by KC Public Theatre, she finally emerges from the shadows. She recounts the events of her life, from her pivotal role in the foundation of the Beats to farming weed in Texas, to fleeing one step ahead of the law to Mexico City and the last fateful chapter.
