ShoutOut: Cowboys and Lesbians

ShoutOut Radio

Celebrating queerjoy this LGBTQIA+ History month, Edinburgh Fringe smash-hit Cowboys and Lesbians will be transferring to Park Theatre! This heart-warming modern-day love story, starring two sarcastic British teenagers, takes Hollywood’s typical first love clichés and flips them on their head, creating a whole new kind of romantic comedy for all audiences. 17-year-olds Nina and Noa only have two terms left at school. They’ve never done drugs, they’ve never been to a party... they’ve never even been kissed. As the pairmake fun of the limiting and harmful cliches and stereotypes that are fed to teenage girls, they concoct a story that takes on a life of its own, forming a fruity camp parody of Hollywood first love ... As the line between this world and the real world begins to blur, Nina and Noa start to see that the real dramatic first love story might have beenunder their noses the whole time. We chat to Writer and Director Billie Esplen.
