Buttercup and Venus: Cowkeepers Extraordinaire
“Amoosing, cowmedy-filled and udderly delightful!”
Ageing dairy cows, Buttercup, a pragmatic Friesian cow and Venus, a gentle Jersey cow are Cowkeepers; housekeepers and surrogate parents, to 17-year-old Charlie and eleven-year-old Maxime. In this alternative universe, dairy cows are bonded with a child from birth to the age of 18. As Charlie is about to turn 18, Venus must look for another job and accommodation or risk homelessness.
Maxime and Charlie’s parents are workaholics who are never at home and only communicate with the Cowkeepers and children through messages.
Buttercup and Venus: Cowkeepers Extraordinaire is a slightly absurd short play about identity, the loss of usefulness, and the meaning of family in a digital age.”
