About

Mum’s promised him a bike, so he keeps his shirt clean, his head down, and steers clear of the smoking boys and the what-what girls. Because good things come to good people. Don't they?

Spanning multiple characters, communities and years, Good Dog tells the story of growing amidst the everyday injustices that drive people to take back control. An achingly visceral roar, Kene's play crackles with vivid detail and empathy, showing us what happens to those unheard and unseen.
