Cowboys and Lesbians by Billie Esplen (eBook)

Cowboys and Lesbians by Billie Esplen

When repressed British schoolfriends Nina and Noa start writing a parody American coming-of-age romance, the colourful, familiar characters come to life and show them that they might just have a story of their own to tell.

Cowboys and Lesbians is a queer romantic comedy which examines the intersection between sexuality and fantasy through the eyes of two closeted teenage girls, highlighting just how much the stories we consume affect the ones we tell about ourselves.

“Outrageous, hilarious, and wonderfully wholesome, this queer rom-com is exactly
what the title insists and more.”

Vi Dang, Playbill

“Incredibly tender, fuelled by the hopeful urges of early understandings of queerness and the desperate desire to be kissed”

Kate Wyver, The Guardian

★★★★★
“refreshing, original and laugh out loud hilarious”

London Theatre Review
