Animals are better than people, so this double header is as good as sold out — and back by popular demand. Brendan Cowell has written The Dog, about the love triangle created when two men share a dog, and Lally Katz has created The Cat, about sharing a talking, smart-arse cat with your ex. Directing both is Ralph Myers, former Belvoir artistic director, friend to all animals and real-life co-parent of Cowell's dog.
Benedict Hardie (The Drover's Wife) returns to star as app designer Marcus, in The Dog and lovesick guy Albert in The Cat. Xavier Samuel (Twilight: Eclipse, Love and Friendship) returns as Ben in The Dog and the cat in The Cat. Sheridan Harbridge (Girl Asleep) joins the cast as Miracle in The Dog and Albert's ex Alex in The Cat. The show played Downstairs in 2015, and now it's headed for the Upstairs stage.
Two plays, one night, funny, furry. Book it.
