    paper Croydon Cowgirl

    CROYDON COWGIRL is set in Barry in South Wales and is the story of two full of life, lonely and desperate strangers, one of whom has risked his life to come to the U.K to seek asylum. The other a bold and vivacious woman who is holding on to life, looking bleakly to her future while not quite being able to let go of her chaotic party filled past.

    Jostling between comedy and heart-breaking moments of vulnerability our story treads the fine line between pathos and humour where human nature and tragedy are just a part of everyday life. This year the number of people crossing the Dover Straits to the UK seeking asylum has doubled to around 60,000, this number continues to rise.
