Royal Court reveals cast for Are You Watching?

The Royal Court has announced the full cast and creative team for Are You Watching?.

Georgie Dettmer’s new play receives its world premiere from Friday 29 May to Saturday 4 July 2026, with press night on Thursday 4 June 2026.

The piece, which explores digital voyeurism, will be directed by Jess Edwards.

Forming the cast are Kosar Ali, Billy Bolt, Abby McCann, Lucy McCormick, Maimuna Memon, and Nicholas Rowe.

Dettmer said: “Are You Watching? originated from my own experience of witnessing horrors online and the grimy interplay between consumption and complicity. The play calls upon us, our bodies together in the room, to bear witness – with no screens in sight! I look forward to welcoming audiences in May.”

Edwards added: “It’s so exciting to be directing Are You Watching?, a show that asks us to look directly at where we invest our attention. Georgie has managed to bring together the darkest of human nature with catharsis and wit – inviting us to confront what makes us keep on watching, unable to tear our eyes away.”

On the creative team, 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? is supported by Genesis Next Generation at The Royal Court – A Genesis Foundation Project. Supported by the Concord Theatricals Unpublished Playwrights Award.
