Four Dogs and a Bone
by John Patrick Shanley
directed by Dan Walls

Adept performances…deliciously bitchy dialogue… a fast and funny take on the huge egos of Hollywood
- The Age, Nov 22

the script is tightly written and packed with hilarious one-liners, movie in-jokes and plot twists leading to the inevitable but ingenious dog-eats-dog ending. There’s an infallible formula at work and the play rattles along like clockwork... leaving the actors to lob their laughter-provoking lines at each other like tennis players.
-MCV, Nov 14

A naive writer, a desperate producer, an embittered actress and a scheming starlet take centre stage as they fight tooth and nail for control of a troubled film production. Sex, greed and egotism abound as the four attempt to save their careers and avoid ending up in a straight-to-video 'art house dog.'

Green Room Award winners the Act-O-Matic 3000 (The Laramie Project, fourplay, The Return) are proud to present the Australian premiere of John Patrick Shanley’s hysterically cynical close-up of showbiz.
