Arthur Kopit has described his play Indians as “a combination of Wild West Show, vaudeville, and circus… There are dances; phony horses; things go wrong all the time – mock-murders turn into real murders, there are conversations with the dead. It's a hallucinatory mosaic; a nightmare panorama of Buffalo Bill reliving his life and trying to work out where he went wrong.” The action takes place in the center ring of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. The performers include Billy the Kid, Jesse James, Wild Bill Hickok, and assorted politicians and their victims – Geronimo, Sitting Bull, and other Plains Indians. As they re-enact their parts in the conquest of the West, the legend of the Western hero bravely taming a savage land is shown to be a fraudulent mythologizing of greed and stupidity.
