The cast has been revealed for the Royal Court production of Cow I Deer, a radical new production made entirely with sound and no words. Performances begin in Jerwood Theatre Upstairs on 4 September, running through 11 October.

The cast includes Pandora Colin (Abigail's Party, Dear Octopus, Our Town), Tom Espiner (Boys On The Verge Of Tears, Witness For The Prosecution, Life of Pi), Tatenda Matsvai (Dark Matter, Hot in Here), and Ruth Sullivan (Twelfth Night, Kingdom, The Norman Conquests).

The collaboration between Katie Mitchell (Bluets, Anatomy of a Suicide), Nina Segal (Shooting Hedda Gabler, Big Guns), and Melanie Wilson (Oracle Song, Opera for the Unknown Woman) is described as "a new experiment in performance that radically decentres humans in an exploration of our relationship to animals and the environment."

The design is by Alex Eales and lighting design is by Prema Mehta.
