Soi Cowboy
The famous Bangkok street inspires a brand new Brisbane play.
Overview
If you've ever been to Bangkok, you might've wandered along one of its most famous streets, stepped inside one of its go-go bars and pondered just where you were in life — or found the spark you needed to start heading in a different direction. Indeed, that's just what Aussie traveller Andy does when she takes a job at one of the busy strip's karaoke bars, meets Thai-American Arisa and starts trekking throughout the country, seeking answers about their role as tourists in a developing nation as much as themselves.
Andy's tale sits at the heart of the brand new, Brisbane Powerhouse-commissioned production Soi Cowboy, as created by artists Gillian Cosgriff (music and lyrics), Julia-Rose Lewis (text) and Kat Henry (director). Or, to be more accurate, it will be when it takes to the stage. For now, they're giving audiences a taste with a professional run-through of what's sure to be the city's next musical theatre hit.
Tickets are free, but registration is required.
