In Dog Act at Main Street Theater we get to see what happens after the apocalypse.. msthouston lizduffyadams
When all else is gone, humans will still have stories to tell, and the need to hear them. That premise is central to the plot ofby Liz Duffy Adams, in which a woman and her"Dog" travel the post-apocalyptic new wilderness of the northeastern United States. With hopes of somehow getting to China.
"I had just seen a Wooster Group production. There was a young man who was playing a dog and there was something very sweet about that. Around the same time I readby [A.R.] Gurney and it infuriated me. It's about a female dog named Sylvia and it's meant to be played by a young woman. And I thought it was a dreadful play and sexist and infuriating and I threw it across the room. I sort of felt like 'I'll show you how to write a person playing a dog.
Dog does have a particular reason for opting out of humanity and, according to Adams,"to embrace the simplicity and purity of being a working dog. It simplifies what we need to do in life. One of the things about being human is how complicated it is and we all sort of struggle with that." A central question in the play is how do people behave in such daunting circumstances. And that is not a simple question of good and bad, righteous and malign for Adams.
