Summary
Three cows, Bessie, Opal and Eloise, have been put in a truck and brought to a big, strange place with a lot of other cows. They're not quite sure where they are or what's happened to the barn, and Bessie has a lot of really disturbing questions about what's going on, but the others tell her not to worry, everything is going to be just fine, and look, the line is moving. A very dark little parable. One of eleven short animal plays in Animal Tales.
History
First produced by Galloping Abbey Productions at the Walking Fish Theatre in Philadelphia in 2008 and at Manhattan Repertory Theatre in New York City in 2010.
