Seymour Centre and Siren Theatre Co present

COWBOIS

20 Nov - 13 Dec 2025

A rollicking queer Western like nothing you've seen before.

In a sleepy town in the Wild West, the women drift through their days like tumbleweed. Their husbands, swept up in the goldrush, have been missing for almost a year and show no sign of returning. In fact, the town is almost cut off from outsiders entirely, with only one drunken sheriff for protection.

That is until handsome bandit Jack Cannon swaggers up to the town’s saloon, looking for a place to hide from the bounty hunters on his tail. Armed with a wink, and a gun by his side, Jack’s explosive arrival inspires a gender revolution, and starts a fire under the petticoat of every one of the town’s inhabitants.

There’s a whole lot of singing and dancing, a climactic shoot-out, and it’s guaranteed you’ll leave the theatre smiling. This is a rollicking good time and a great way to end the year.

The first performance of Cowbois was given by the RSC at The Swan Theatre, UK on 14th October 2023.

“It’s one of those plays that when you leave, you want to tell everybody you know about.”
All that Dazzles
“A joyous queer cowboy romp … an empowering message to choose yourself and fight for love.”
West End Best Friend
“A fantastical journey of gender discovery.”
Spy in the Stalls
