Cow
By Evie Chandler
March-April 2023, King’s Head Theatre, 1 week
What begins as a bittersweet love story, Cow soon learns sometimes you just can’t control where the myth takes you.
These things she knows to be true: she is fat, she is a woman, she is trans, she needs sex, she hates her body, men don’t like her.
She is desperate to find the answer to important questions: How do you love moderately? How do you accept the body society has told you to hate? What happens when your world gets turned upside down? How do you recover from rock bottom?
Professional directing debut for King’s Head Theatre’s Sight Unseen festival, co-directing an intimate piece of new work written and performed by Evie Chandler.

“If Evie Chandler’s Cow makes a comeback after its London run at the King’s Head Theatre, take my advice: run, don’t walk. A packed one-night show, Chandler gave us an autobiographical look into queer souls and queer bodies, from the euphoric nightlife to the trials of dating, the traumas and – the most moving part of the production – the enduring joys of it all.” Daniel Pereira
