Dog People
 

Merrigong Theatre Company’s annual artists’ program, MERRIGONGX presents Lucy Heffernan’s Dog People, a new musical about dogs and death at the Illawarra Performing Arts Centre from the 19th June to 21st June 2025.

Tuning into the music of dogs, Heffernan has composed 10 original songs, creating an exciting new work that explores themes of love, loyalty and loss.

Using the language of alt rock, pop and love ballads Dog People explores what it is to be human… perhaps people aren’t that different from dogs after all?

    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.

    Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
    To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.

    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.

    Even when individual works did not fully land for me dramaturgically, there is no denying the precision, intelligence and care of the artists creating them.

    Unabashedly and unapologetically entertaining, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels delights in its hoax hokum, a whimsical hustle of musical comedy bustle.
