Synopsis:
A Dog's Life is a romp, a two act farce with incidental music that uses Laban techniques, commedia del arte, melodrama, improvisation, Method, and Shakespeare, and includes a parody of the story of Puccini's Tosca, featuring a trampoline. It's about human corruptibility, and the constant friction between commerce and art - a classic, enduring story of rent vs. artistic principles. It's a set, technical, and costume designer's dream, with falling paper flowers, offstage fights, illuminated moons, and actors dressed sometimes as cavaliers and sometimes as dogs.
Notes:
Produced Write Act Repertory 2004. "A delightful comedy that will keep you giggling all evening"
