— I wonder, said Hermes, what it would be like if animals had human intelligence.

— I'll wager a year's servitude, answered Apollo, that animals – any animal you like – would be even more unhappy than humans are, if they were given human intelligence.

That's how, one night over a beer at the Wheatsheaf Tavern, the gods Hermes and Apollo decide to grant human consciousness and language to a group of 15 dogs.

What happens next — how each of the dogs responds to this sudden change to their existence – is the story of this wildly successful stage adaptation of André Alexis's multi-award-winning international best-selling novel.

Performed by some of this country's finest actors, this compelling, charming, funny and moving play examines our relationship with the animals we share our lives with while providing insights on the human condition itself.
