The Headless Cowboy
70:00 min /Theatre Play/ Canada / 2007

Synopsis
Headless, an earnest ecologist quits his band, the Fundamentalists, because “art is really bad for the environment.” On Emerging Artists' Night at the Vampire Bar, he meets and falls for Crybaybee, a bloodsucking vixen who expresses herself through dance. Watching from behind the bar is Ginger With Knives, an alien who is collecting sperm samples from earthlings while making her living selling weapons (of the Ginsu variety) at trade shows. Can you say edgy?

“Payne's take on losing your head in love is definitely original and outrageously funny.”
Kathleen Oliver for Vancouver Arts Source
