Description: London in the 1980s: a racist English football hooligan's relationship with his beloved pitbull terrier, Roy, gets him into trouble and changes his life. This short one-man show takes a satirical look at the working class and the similarities between the doggedness of a terrier and the doggedness of a violent lout, ultimately bringing out the loneliness and isolation beneath. 'Dog' premiered (under the title 'Pitbull') at the Warehouse Theatre, Croydon, in August 1993.
