Play :: Death Row in a jail somewhere in America. In adjacent cells are John - educated and arrogant editor of The Death Row Advocate and Bobby - a racist predator, convicted of an horrific crime. As final appeals approach, one man evokes sympathy, the other, derision. In America where the President has been responsible for more state executions than any other governor, Bruce Graham's Coyote on a Fence asks powerful questions about justice and revenge. Does a disturbed upbringing excuse a heinous crime? Is there room for mercy within a judicial system? Can one be innocent though proven guilty? And what is the morality of taking a life for a life?
