A Royal Court play aims to bring trans stories to a new audience in London with an LGBTQ+ take on the Wild West.
The producers of Cowbois say the play, first seen at the Royal Shakespeare Company, is for everyone but particularly those less familiar with trans identities.
Writer Charlie Josephine said they wanted to highlight "trans joy".
They also wanted to show forgotten transgender histories, in a playful and joyous way.
"I knew I was writing for people who were less familiar with trans people," says Charlie, who also co-directs the play and uses he/they pronouns, says.
Because of this, Charlie says they stuck with a classic narrative but threw in a less classic romantic lead - a trans-masculine bandit named Jack.
