We’re Not Getting A Dog*
*A Show Mostly Not About Dogs
By Sam Freeman
This is a story about passive aggressive letter writing, early morning jet washing and making a house a home. It’s about those who live, laugh and love meters from us, but who really, we barely know at all.
A couple run through the rain to catch a bus.A man stares at a blank laptop screen in desperation.A woman opens an envelope to find a photo inside.A new house on a new street with new neighbours.
A roughly seventy-two minute show, read from a little black book, by a scruffy, bearded, glasses-wearing man in a red check shirt and black jeans who does not own a pressure washer.
A new storytelling show** by Sam Freeman (Every Little Hope You Ever Dreamed, Every Time I Close My Eyes).
**This show has minimal references to dogs.
