←Recommendations of The Two of Us

I was already very intrigued by the idea of a lesbian cowboy play, and I was not disappointed! We see a snapshot of Shiloh and Mae at their most vulnerable, a beautiful and fleeting moment that I think queer women are no stranger to. The characters are clear and feel true to their time and world, and despite the length of the play, are both changed by the end.

I love an opening line which gets you hooked and this play by Skye is a fine example. Two characters sitting round an open fire, a simple premise, but here there is so much back story, much regret and at it's heart love. Love can be a draw and a bind, stand it up against such extreme factors as in this play, then it becomes quite painful for both.
And credit to the playwright for giving us such a great, fresh perspective. Love it!

I love how Hass has taken one of the most well-known settings and added a fresh look into it. If we live in a world where cowboys can have a movie written and made about them time after time, then why not allow everyone in the queer community that same opportunity? Hass' script is entertaining and full of nuances that an actor would love to play.

I'm a sucker for any subversion of the Western genre, and you have a deft subversion here by Hass. The language used by the two characters is authentic, and you're drawn into the situation by the dialogue that unfolds. I wasn't ready for the heft of emotion that developed in this play, but that made it more of a wonder in the end. Hass has something here in this 10-minute, and honestly, it could definitely be developed into a fuller story if so desired. Until then, this is an effective piece examining connection in a "world" rarely witnessed previously.

"The Two of Us" is a captivating play about two cowboys, Shiloh and Mae, who share a tense conversation around a campfire. The dialogue is sharp and the characters are well-developed. The play explores themes of love, regret, and the consequences of our actions. It's a gripping and emotional story.
