Reverse Cowboy

by Jared Sprowls

Some would say that Cowboy isn't your typical cowboy. He's gay. He loves men...although he's only truly loved a few. One night, he meets a man. They rodeo: roping, racing and riding. Cowboy is weary that this man is more of the same. But how much has Cowboy changed since the last man? Or the man before that? Reverse Cowboy is a two-hander where fears of queer intimacy and isolation meet.

    Ugh, I love this play so much. It's gorgeous and painful and it gives actors an incredibly rich playground. I not only want to be in this play, I want to see 10 versions of it.
