Lynndie's Gotta Gun
About this book
A short play published for the first time, written during the author's time working with European theatremakers.
Enda Walsh's Lynndie's Gotta Gun is subtitled 'A play for former US soldier Private Lynndie England'. It was written in the light of the Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse scandal of 2004, following which US Army Reserve Soldier Lynndie England was sentenced to three years in prison for her part in the abuse.
Lynndie's Gotta Gun was first performed by Artistas Unidos, a not-for-profit community organisation, at Teatro Nacional D. Maria II in Lisbon on 16 June 2005. The piece formed part of the ConfĆŖrenca de Imprensa e Outras Aldrabices, a collection of sketches inspired by the writings of Harold Pinter.

Lights up.
A MAN stands on stage looking into the wings.
He is out of breath and looks terrified.
A childrenās party clown, LYNNDIE, walks fast on the stage carrying a large fish.
She smashes the MAN on the face with the fish.
The MAN falls to the ground.
A pause.
MAN. I donāt understand what Iām doing here.
LYNNDIE slaps him on the head with the fish.
She turns and leaves.
The MAN gets to his feet.
LYNNDIE re-enters carrying a very large frying pan.
She smacks the MAN hard across the head.
Again he hits the ground fast.
She stands over him.
What have you done with my son? I came in with my son but I havenāt seen him? I heard a gunshot!
LYNNDIE turns and walks offstage.
As the MAN gets to his feet LYNNDIE re-enters carrying a large cream cake.
She fires it into the MANās face.
Long pause as she looks at him.
LYNNDIE. Tell me what you know.
MAN. I donāt know anything.
