Mary (Maria Leigh) and Crick (Brian Martin) are married-with-child and living outside Pittsburgh. Red (Lauren Preston) is a lady cowboy — as Red emphasizes, she is no cowgirl. Red teaches Mary how to handle a horse, and several lives get taken for a ride in Custom Made Theatre Co.'s drama Late: A Cowboy Song. New York playwright Sarah Ruhl is reuniting with San Francisco's Custom Made after 2013's Eurydice, which reaped several Bay Area Critic Circle awards in its sold-out run. Ruhl — who created the Tony-nominated In the Next Room (or The Vibrator Play), and whose accolades also include a MacArthur Fellowship and Pulitzer Prize nomination — sets her trained eye on love, gender, and poetry in the trail-dusted Late.
Late: A Cowboy Song's sold-out opener starts at 8 p.m. and the play runs through Feb. 1 at the Gough Street Playhouse, 1620 Gough St., S.F. $20-$50; 798-2682 or custommade.org.
