Joining the previously announced Stephen Rea as Hobart, Elissa Piszel has been cast in the non-speaking role of Young Woman.

A co-production with Ireland's Abbey Theatre, KICKING A DEAD HORSE marks the fifth Shepard play to have a premiere at The Public, following Curse of the Starving Class (1978), Tongues (1979), True West (1980), and Simpatico (1994).  Rea reprises his role as Hobart in this arresting new play about the West, a Manhattan art dealer and a dead horse.
