Recommendations of This Cow and That Trombone

  • Emily McClain: This Cow and That Trombone

    What a gorgeous love letter to the power of creative expression! Read this play and be as delighted as I am by Steve Martin's ability to distill the complexity of human experience into an "udderly" charming play (HA! Cow puns!). The relationship between the characters is dynamic and completely relatable, and this would be an amazing addition to a ten minute play festival!

  • Daniel Prillaman: This Cow and That Trombone

    There are few playwrights dead or living that can capture the oft forgotten, but innate joy and jubilance of being alive. Or so eloquently demonstrate the vital human need to create. Mr. Martin is a goddamned wonder. Not only has he penned an incredibly relatable short comedy about the side effects of living in a society that pushes its own values and ideas of worth on its members, but it has cows. COWS! The things quarter-pounders are made of! It also has more that I will not spoil. This is a beautiful, beautiful play, and an ode to life.
