This is an intriguing three hander, the story of a woman, a dog and a dingo in the mountains of Gippsland, encountering each other in an area of wild country and confronting issues of humanity versus nature, about the hidden history of the area and the uncaring nature of the wilderness. The trio of performers are directed tightly by Declan Greene, with both dog and dingo given additional movement by Kirk Page giving both performers an animalistic intensity that stuns. If I have any criticisms it's that possibly the gear shift in the last ten minutes feels a bit clunky - it's important material that needs to be told, but it doesn't entirely fit in with the rest of the play as it's currently written. This is engaging,confrontational material, done strongly and, as my first introduction to post-Lee-Lewis Griffin it's a strong start.
