===Directing===
While preparing to co-star as Vladimir to [[John Alderton]]'s Estragon in [[Michael Rudman]]'s acclaimed production of ''[[Waiting for Godot]]'' at the [[Royal National Theatre|National Theatre]] in November 1987, McCowen also spent a busy autumn staging [[Martin Crimp]]'s trilogy of short plays ''Definitely the Bahamas'' at the [[Orange Tree Theatre]] in [[Richmond upon Thames]], having previously enjoyed Crimp's style of writing in a BBC radio version of ''Three Attempted Acts''. As [[Charles Spencer (journalist)|Charles Spencer]] wrote in ''[[The Daily Telegraph]]'': "As a director McCowen captures both the subtlety and the richness of these three original and beautifully written plays."
