Kungfu cowboy comedy

In progress - Please inquire if interested

Outrageous and inventive, Little Cricket is a dead serious challenge to the core North American epic narratives, a raised finger, if you will to the Great Frontier myths where heroic white men save the day and tame the elements. It is a pointed response to a lifelong stream of pop culture: Kungfu with David Carradine, Bonanza, Xena: The Warrior Princess as well as Asian works such as Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. Set in the Wild West, the story follows Little Cricket and her romantically-challenged sidekick, Green Sally, as they scour the land for Little Cricket's father Big Locust. Little Cricket has an urgent message from her uncle, Big Locust's brother: "I'm back in China, where the fuck are you?" A heroine with a talent for Kungfu and the power to fuck men to death, Little Cricket battles cowboys, red-neck ranchers, jealous Southern belles and fends off her arch nemesis, Sheriff Brad Spitt whose blue-eyed gaze can turn even the butchest dyke into a sniveling valley girl. A highly presentational theatrical spoof, Little Cricket's story is a vehicle for edgy, iconoclastic racial and sexual political commentary. With contemporary political asides, rebelliously non-naturalistic direct address to the audience, and two ass-kicking chicks at the centre of the story, The Adventures of Little Cricket & Green Sally is a bawdy and inherently Asian feminist fairy-tale.
