Bang Bang You're Dead (play)
''Bang Bang You're Dead'' is a one-act play written by William Mastrosimone, with the assistance of the Spanish River Drama Department (Boca Raton, Florida) in 1999 to raise awareness of school violence and its causes. According to Mastrosimone, it “is a drama to be performed by kids, for kids” for free. The plot focuses on Josh, a high school student who murders his parents and five classmates. It is strongly based on the events surrounding Kip Kinkel's shootings of his parents on May 20, 1998, and 27 of his classmates at Thurston High School in Springfield, Oregon on May 21, 1998.〔"2: Kip Kinkel's Life." PBS Frontline. WGBH educational foundation, 1998. Web. 23 Oct. 2009. 〕 As of October 2002, three years after its publication, the play had been performed over 15,000 times.〔RON WERTHEIMER.

==Purpose==
William Mastrosimone intended ''Bang, Bang, You're Dead'' to be easily accessed and performed by teens “in any modest playing area," and therefore production requires “no set, no lights, no costumes (except for contemporary dress)." Its purpose is to raise awareness of the roots of school violence, which, as Mastrosimone writes in his notes on the play, are not always easily seen. Mastrosimone hopes that the play will help people “see tragedy before it happens." Mastrosimone stresses the importance of young people seeing the play performed by their peers, and therefore he does not allow the play to be on film or video. Mastrosimone hopes to reach out to potential killers in the thousands of audiences that the play continues to gather.〔Witham, BB.
