Summary
In a post-apocalyptic "Lost Vegas," a young gunslinger named Jess December enlists the help of a mysterious samurai cowboy to help avenge the murder of her sister. However, the gang they'll be going against has powers that go way beyond just gunpowder and steel. To get revenge, they may have to become just as bloodthirsty as the monsters they're facing.
History
Six Rounds of Vengeance premiered off-off-Broadway at the New Ohio Theatre in New York City in April 2015. Produced by Vampire Cowboys, the production was directed by Robert Ross Parker.

Media

"Six Rounds of Vengeance relies on westerns, samurai stories, action movies, blaxploitation flicks and vampire chillers. But what sets the company even further apart from its Off Off Broadway peers is the ways in which these elements have been given a contemporary twist.
