‘Cowbois
’
After a brilliant run at The RSC we transferred to London’s Royal Court!!! Grateful to both venues for hosting us so well.
‘Cowbois’ is a big queer cowboy show full of everything you’d expect from a western, but our lone ranger is a gender outlaw who fights patriarchy and inspires a queer revolution. Written by me. Co-directed by Sean Holmes and me.
