Charlie Josephine - Playwright (they/he)

Charlie Josephine is an actor and a writer, passionate about making work that centres working class women and queer people.

In 2023 their play COWBOIS opened at the RSC’s Swan Theatre in Stratford Upon Avon where it was nominated for Best New Play at the WhatOnStage Awards, before transferring to the main stage of the Royal Court Theatre in January 2024. 

Recent theatre work includes FLIES  for Boundless Theatre ONE OF THEM ONES for Pentabus Theatre, and BIRDS AND BEES for Theatre Centre. Their previous plays include BITCH BOXER  and BLUSH.

 

They are also currently developing a new feature biopic. Charlie is an associate artist at the NSDF and board trustee at Cardboard Citizens.

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 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 with 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.

Seymour Centre is offering multi packs across its season - what a a great way to save if you intend to see more than one show (and you should!).

 

As part of Seymour’s 50th anniversary celebration, there is an early bird ticket offer of $50 for full priced tickets. Early bird tickets are available until 28 February unless sold out prior.

 

For COWBOIS we have special on-the-floor seating available now at $40 a seat.
