My overall impression
Richard takes you on a unique journey of discovery, human compassion, and animal companionship through a touching, humorous, and authentic performance. Based on his bestselling memoir, The Dog Log, the show captures a first-person look at living next door to a barking dog and perspectives on life in LA. The show is intelligent, interlaced with literary works, yet speaks to the commoner and is easily relatable. The writing is so descriptive that invisible objects come to life during the performance. Under the keen, insightful direction of Bruno Oliver, Richard’s stellar, natural performance engages the audience and makes use of the space brilliantly. Don’t let the title fool you, this show is not only for dog lovers, but for anyone who has ever dealt with frustrating relationships, broken dreams, love-loss, and redemption. The Dog Log is a warm, insightful, and engaging show. 2 paws up! Highly recommend!
