The Rhinestone Cowboy is a darkly humorous, raw, and emotive one-woman play written and performed by Hjarta, with a diverse multimedia setting by composer and audiovisual artist Harry Bongo.

The Rhinestone Cowboy

The village is running on rations, and everyone is hangry, fed up and full ey’ the drouth! But the taxes still need to be paid, and Baroness Bella Von Grabbit will make sure she gets what is owed. Our loveable, nice but naive Jack has forever longed to find a bonnie bird who loves him for him, but family comes first… Does he let his auld Ma, Maggie McTrout, whittle away to the size of a sprout, or does he pull his socks up, stop greetin’ and climb his way tae something bigger? With a feisty Ma, a loyal coo, a greedy Baroness, and a beanstalk that’s anything but ordinary, will Jack strike it rich – or land himself in a right pickle? Either way, it’s going to be a belter of a journey!
