VIRGINS AND COWBOYS

$5.40 – $15.00

A sitcom-reject, set in cyberspace, Virgins and Cowboys is a play about a 20-something dude stuck in a dead-end job who meets two women online – both of whom are virgins. As he sets out on a bizarre self-assigned mission to ‘be the one whoâ€¦’, the internet, the past, the future, and the stage smash together and everything crumbles around them. This twisted premise is used to examine male entitlement, the women they bulldoze, the violence of language, and a demographic of people spat out of the other end of the information age – those in a futile and relentless pursuit of happiness.

EXTRACT: This is a list of words Iâ€™m uncomfortable with. And Iâ€™d prefer you didnâ€™t say them to me. Pause. So Iâ€™m just gonna say them now. Iâ€™m gonna list them out, all together now. Okay? Okay, here it is. Um. Lube, poon, blow chunks, diarrhea, penis, vagina, clitoris, maxi pad, pussy (unless itâ€™s a cat), bone, boner, cum, sperm, splooge, jiz and, and, and the last one... I canâ€™t even say the last one. Lots of people have trouble with the word moist for some reason, but Iâ€™m fine with it. Also, I am a vegetarian. .

EXTRACT: Okay. So when it happened. Well. He put his hand here, on my waist and closed his eyes really, really tight and then moved his head towards mine and it was coming at me with eyes closed no going back so I just kissed him back and his tongue would dart into my mouth and then out and sometimes it would make a circle.
