The Dogs Play: And, a Few Roos Loose in the Top PaddockPresented together, the vigorous contrasts of these two short plays create an innovative evening of comic, anarchic, physical theatre. Dogs are unleashed in all their loving, libidinous energy upon Jenna, a woman with an uncertain past and a dangerous future. Kangaroos are the sentinels, guardians of the land upon which Suzy and Pete build their dream lives. Both stories focus upon the desires of contemporary women -- one urban, the other suburban. As actual onstage characters, the dogs and roos are both feral and spiritual -- vaudevillian troupers providing comfort, laughter and inspiring passions in their human companions. |
