Review: COWBOIS, Royal Court Theatre

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: COWBOIS, Swan Theatre, Stratford-Upon-Avon

Cowbois might sound like a reboot of Sister Act but there is far more going under the satin bonnets. Gunslinger Jack Cannon (Vinnie Heaven) arrives in a small Wild West-era outpost, handsome by appearance, fearsome by reputation and with a bounty of 200 dollars on their head. The town is populated only by women and a drunken sheriff (Paul Hunter), their menfolk having been gone for over a year and presumed dead after a mine blast.

Because the hetero-ghetto is wild right now, especially in the UK, it’s a very challenging time to be trans and queer. But the love is always louder than the fear, and I believe in the power of good theatre.
