Two estranged brothers and a struggling actress must face a disturbing past and an uncertain future in this hilarious, fantastical, and haunting tale about dairy farming. Channeling the style of the Bayeux Tapestry, the play bends and breaks the rules of time — seconds last minutes, months last seconds, an instant becomes infinite. With innovative yet simple storytelling, Cow Play continues the theatrical traditions of Sarah Ruhl and Sam Shepard and explores the struggle of living between the smallness and largeness of time.
