Presented in Room 300 of The Frenchmen Hotel
September 9-10, 2017 & March 23-24, 2018

A site-specific production of the classic, semi-autobiographical one-act, set in 1971 at the Chelsea Hotel, where a pair of lovers have been holed up with a drum kit, a dead crow and their dreams for far too long. Written by Shepard and Smith in their early years, Cowboy Mouth is a portrait of two fantastic freaks who have fallen under one another's spell as they try to break into the heart of rock & roll. Put on two months after Shepard’s passing, this production was meant to pay tribute to the late playwright.
