Review: LAUGHING BOY, Jermyn Street Theatre

When Connor dies whilst in the care of the NHS, his mum, Sara, wants answers.

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.
