Long Gone Lonesome Cowgirls
3bCreative's first play for 2025 is a wisecracking two-hander in which two deserted wives in outback Queensland grope their way through the confusions of the 1960s on dreams of Hank Williams and Patsy Cline.
The play is set against the background of the sixties when Australia was heavily under the influence of American culture but, particularly in the wake of the Vietnam War, beginning to learn the importance of asserting its independence.
Cleverly but unobtrusively Philip Dean counterpoints the women’s lives with what is happening in the nation, thereby grounding the characters and their situation in a real world.
Though dealing with loneliness and unhappiness, the play is never dark but shot through with wonderfully funny moments and hilarious dialogue.
What sets the play apart, however, is that it incorporates effortlessly into the text a whole range of Country and Western songs that are totally appropriate to the situations in which the women find themselves.
