Kosar Ali, Billy Bolt, Abby McCann, Lucy McCormick, Maimuna Memon and Nicholas Rowe have joined the cast of Are You Watching?, which will have its world premiere at the Royal Court Theatre this May.
Intertwining our consumption of, and attitudes towards, porn with the emergence of deepfakes and increasing violence against women, Are You Watching? follows a journalist wired to a machine and a mother whose grief is sold for clicks. Are You Watching? asks audiences to consider when the lines blur between entertainment and abuse; asking who is complicit and who is, ultimately, in control.
Written by Georgie Dettmer in her professional playwriting debut, it is directed by Jess Edwards.
The designer is Georgia Wilmot, the lighting designer is Bethany Gupwell, the composer and sound designer is XANA, the casting director is Saffeya Shebli, the dramaturg is Gillian Greer, the intimacy coordinator is Joana Nastari and the assistant director is Yanni Ng.
Are You Watching? will run at the Royal Court’s Jerwood Theatre Upstairs from May 29 – July 4, 2026. Tickets here.
