DOG
A New Solo Play Written & Performed by Ben Moroski
Directed by Jordan Lane Shappell
Beer, liquor and football. The three things Dog needs to get by. And right now, he needs a whole lot of each one. A searing dark comedy about a man coping with the death of his dog, “DOG” is a dirty, rollicking dive into the lure of alcohol, the power of America’s game and the lengths we’ll go to remain in denial – all while waking up from the worst blackout ever. The new solo play from Ben Moroski, the award-winning creator of the Hollywood Fringe hits “This Vicious Minute” (HFF12), “The Wake” (HFF14) and “TILT” (HFF16).
