Full Cast Announced For Theo Chester’s Stray Dogs At Theatre503

Stray Dogs Theatre503

The full cast is announced for Theo Chester’s potent new work, Stray Dogs, a haunting and resonant debut play where death and healing collide in the strange world of Jacob, a troubled yet compassionate executioner who longs for a better future and a different life, directed by Tommo Fowler.

It’s been a harsh winter. Outside the city walls, people are starving. Inside, the rich townspeople hoard their grain and gold.  Like his father before him, Jacob must serve the elite and keep those who steal in order. He fixes their broken bones, sews up their wounds, and then chops off their heads. 

Jacob believes he will keep the peace better through solely healing, but he desperately needs the town’s blessing. Little does he know that others close to him have far more radical plans for change. 

       

Stray Dogs is a visceral epic play, that is rooted in the past and entangled in nature and superstition.

Theo Chester’s bold, inventive play examines hope, fear and our instinctive need to do better in a challenging and difficult world.
