Dog Gone

A Far Fetched Production
Writer and Director: Brenda McFarlane
Performer: Irene Sankoff
Stage Manager: Sylvia Fisher

Premiering at the Winnipeg Fringe Festival 2023
July 19 to 30, 2023

Does every dog deserve a second chance? Does every person deserve a dog? Arizona Animal Control doesn’t think so.

Suddenly, Alice must prove she’s worthy of her dog’s love… but is she? She’s living in a van, has a sketchy past, and has no idea where she’s going; to Canada and the land she loves or back to L.A. and the man she married. Will Alice save her dog, will her dog save her or will she end up alone and empty-leashed?

Writer/director Brenda McFarlane (“lively and engaging” – VARIETY MAGAZINE; “4 OUT OF 4 STARS – a sharp eye for the absurdities and petty madness of modern life” – THE GLOBE & MAIL) brings a comedy about love lost, love found, and one Sassy Bitch.

Performed by Canadian actor and writer Irene Sankoff (Co-writer and performer in the original cast: “My Mother’s Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding” and Tony® nominated co-writer: “Come From Away”)
