"Dog People sniffs around the big themes of love, loyalty and loss — with ears pricked and tail wagging.

​

Created by award-winning theatre-maker Lucy Heffernan, this alt-rock-meets-love-ballad journey explores what it means to be human by channelling our canine cousins. Because when it comes to heartache, devotion and chasing the occasional tail, maybe we’re not so different from dogs after all."
