Review: COWBOIS, Royal Court Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - January 18, 2024 All in all, Cowbois isn’t a bad play. It’s a fun and gimmicky queer-affirming semi-comedy that makes for a good night out if you’re willing to close an eye here and there. It’s weird and long, but it means well....

Review: ELEPHANT, Bush Theatre
