Me and the D.O.G returns to the Motley Bauhaus after a stellar fringe season!
By comparing the experiences of a single woman approaching 30 and an elderly widowed man, Me and the D.O.G unpacks society’s archaic views of singledom, loneliness and the driving forces behind making life altering choices in your late twenties. The play explores themes of rejection, romance, reproductive choice, friendship, in(ter)dependence, loyalty, and heartbreak through one woman and a pair of feet sticking out from under her bed.
Written and performed by El Kiley (As You Like it, The Marvelous Life of Carlo Gatti) and directed by Lucy Payne (Indigenous Trilogy, Exiles), Me and the D.O.G is inspired by the all-consuming obsession of trying to find love within the first quarter of life for no reason other than because we are told to and portrays what it’s like to be single when they say you should be getting married.
