Nina Segal

Review: COW | DEER, Royal Court Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Sep 14, 2025

Have you ever wished to have the same auditory experience as a deer? Or maybe a cow? Now you can. Katie Mitchell partners with playwright Nina Segal and sonic artist Melanie Wilson to explore the world from the eyes – or, more accurately, ears – of the titular animals. It’s a crude reproduction of a day in their lives that de-centres humans from its narrative altogether. Cow | Deer is entirely wordless, unique in its genre and unlike anything you’ll see on a main stage. The leaflets handed out before the start encourage the audience to close their eyes and relax while they listen to “moments of a summer day in England”. You could do that, but you’d be missing all the fun of seeing live foley artistry.

Review: SHOOTING HEDDA GABLER, Rose Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Oct 6, 2023

A modern adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's tragic story of Hedda Gabler, reframed to reflect the #MeToo movement sounds both intriguing and promising. Nina Segal's version captures the claustrophobia and anguish of the original, while setting it against a very modern framework, but it suffers from a lack of pace at times.
