What's On | One Man and His Cow

One Man and His Cow production photo - Stu McLoughlin (left) stood on a wooden crate. He wears a knitted balaclava hat with an opening big enough for his full face. The hat is patterned black and white like a cow and has small cow horns sticking out from the top. He wears a brown t-shirt and light coloured trousers with a pair of wellies and holds an accordion in both hands that is strapped around the back of his neck. Behind Stu is a wooden bar top with beer pumps. In the middle Ian Harris is stood facing the front, with his arms outstretched mid-speech. He wears a farmer-style flat cap, a white square-patterned shirt, tan trousers and green wellies. On the right is a double-bass on a stand. Background: black stage curtains and two stage lights shining downwards from above.

One Man and His Cow

Show Information
Reviews

Farmer Trevor has a big problem. Given just months to live, he is faced with the dilemma of which one of his three children to bequeath his beloved farmstead to.

Each has their own beguiling qualities and Trevor just can’t choose between them. Then one fateful night in the cowshed, help arrives from the most unlikely of sources…

A rural romp, written and performed by “the Morecambe and Wise of Weston Super Mare” (The Daily Telegraph), featuring a multitude of agricultural antics and farmyard frolics, all told with homespun charm and wit and entirely in rhyme and song.

Howard Coggins, who wrote the show and created the role of Trevor way back in 2013 has taken a leave of absence due to sickness. The part of Trevor will be played by… well… someone else. Check livingspit.co.uk for up-to-date casting details.
