The Package 2009

An adventure for two. A Borne style high tech espionage plot and a Marlow-esque film noir collide in this interactive, site specific theatre adventure. Based on a university campus, The Package, saw two different worlds created, one a high speed, hi tech, disorientating modern world, the other a gum-shoed, puzzle solving, classic noir one. Its audience members then became the protagonists with their stories being played out around them. Running simultaneously and even crossing over in parts of the production this interactive show guided its audiences around with phone calls, shadowy informants and femme fatales, allowing them to make their own decisions along the way, deciding on how to interact with the cast and sets and ultimately impact the outcome of the plots.

A highly ambitious (and successful) production lost dog has plans to eventually roll this production out across a whole city in the future.

Two week run at Bradford University

Love in (3) Parts 2008-9

A 'quite' romantic play.

"Some days we are the birds in the sky and others we are the statues below them".

A play about the beautiful awkwardness of life, the things we do, the things we don't and the things we miss.

At turns funny and warm and others tragic and bleak, Love in (3) Parts explores the slightly off-kilter world of two perfectly mismatched individuals; stumbling into love and all the complexities it brings with it. All accompanied by a sparkling, specially commissioned, live soundtrack from the never ruffled James Dey.

More akin to a live music video than a musical, lost dog have successfully blended together performance with live music, song and video to create a truly touching and unique take on an age old theme.
