MAD COW

Mad Cow is a darkly comic musical about a young girl finding her voice to protect those she loves the most. 

 

14-year-old Martha Woolf lives on her family farm in North Wales. Her sisters and parents are more concerned with Pony Club and keeping up with their well-to-do neighbours than with their animals’ wellbeing. But Martha is different. The black sheep of the family, she feels more connected to the cows and pigs than to her relatives. When circumstances threaten the animals she cares about most, Martha is pushed to extreme lengths to save them.

 

Combining tones of Okja and Fantastic Mr. Fox, Mad Cow takes audiences on a madcap adventure into the realms of magical realism. With hauntingly memorable music, it tells an inspirational tale about what happens when you disagree with those closest to you and what it takes to stand up for your beliefs.

​​

Written and directed by Hero Douglas, Mad Cow was Quaestio Productions’ debut musical. It premiered at the Garlinge Theatre, Canterbury, in July 2024. Download the programme here.
