Midnight Cowboy

Joe Buck, a naïve young Texan, leaves his dead-end job to be a hustler in 1960s New York, where he forms a bond with Rico, a physically broken con man. With very strong language.

A two-part radio dramatisation of James Leo Herlihy's landmark 1965 novel Midnight Cowboy - the source material for one of the most celebrated films in American cinema, yet a work whose extraordinary emotional power and literary richness have never been fully realised until now for radio. With very strong language.
