Charolais‘ is an age old tale of female rivalry with a new twist: the other woman is a cow, a literal one, a purebred Charolais heifer. Siobhan’s boyfriend is a farmer who devotes considerable attention to his prize heifer at the expense of his very pregnant girlfriend. Siobhan has developed a homicidal jealousy for this Charolais and is feeling equally murderous towards her snobbish soon-to-be mother in law.

Noni Stapleton wrote and stars in this one woman play that sees her play both the girlfriend and the cow. The play's tour opened to a full house at Féile na Bealtaine in the unusual but highly appropriate venue of Dingle Mart.

And here, we have a video of Noni performing the play at Tiger Dublin Fringe 2014.
