Cindy McLean-Bibby and Theatre503 present
It’s been a harsh winter, the people of the town starve while the rich hoard gold and grain. To keep the peace, the powers that be have done what they always do: make ample use of Jacob. He cures the sick, fixes broken bones, sews up wounds. He also tortures those accused of stealing food and chops off their heads.
But Jacob thinks he can keep the peace better if he stops taking heads. All he needs now is to get the town’s blessing to heal full time, making his community a better, more humane place. But he’s not the only one with plans: his wife, Hilde, and Ana, one of the town’s elite, are pushing for more radical solutions that risk tipping the balance in dangerously uncertain ways.
Stray Dogs by Theo Chester is a visceral, epic play that asks how we can create a better future when things are so very awful.
Stray Dogs is the work of writer Theo Chester, director Tommo Fowler, and producer Cindy McLean-Bibby.
