Forget About The Dog presents:
100 Ways to Tie a Shoelace
Newcastle Alphabetti Theatre
Tuesday 16th – Friday 19th April 2019
Associate
artists of stage@leeds and winners of ‘Best Regional Fringe Show 2018’ (Always
Time For Theatre) tour their original and bombastic show, Spring/Summer 2019.
Forget
About the Dog will be going on tour with a witty, whimsical and
heart-felt piece of new writing, complete with outrageous characters, slick
comedy and a sincere narrative and will be at Alphabetti Theatre, Newcastle between Tuesday 16th – Friday
19th April.
Since the accident,
Kat is having trouble with her memory and the basics of everyday life. Her only
escape from her muddled mind is a hospital ward TV.
A bombastic and
comedic take on the realigning of one person’s mind. Plunged into a world of
confusion, this heart-warming story explores Kat’s recovery as she tries to
fight her anxieties and conquer her fears. However the lines between reality
and fantasy begin to blur and Kat will have to face some unusual visitors if
she wants to get back to her old self…
A theatrical feast of witty dialogue, puppetry and original music create the surreal world Kat finds herself in, whilst never forgetting the sobering reality of the situation.
Mix-ups, mayhem and muscle memory. There’s never a dull moment.

★★★★★ 'I can't fault this
show. It’s a brilliantly crafted piece which gets all the important parts right
and then some - there’s meaning and importance to the story and there’s a
pleasing amount of finely tuned comedy too, there is quite literally never a
dull moment, and that’s really quite rare.'

Forget
About The Dog; dedicated to cohesive
nonsense, thought provoking whimsy and well-made tea.
As a vibrant and imaginative collective they all write, perform, direct, choreograph, compose, devise, and design; bringing a voice born out of a plethora of comedic tastes and styles.
“We
create distinctive, fast-paced and witty work which visualises the inner
workings of someone’s mind, whether that be imagination, anxieties, fears or
hopes. We take a character’s struggle or challenge in life and place it under
the microscope to explore it in the most engaging and unexpected ways, with action
typically switching from grounded reality to abstract fantasy and caricatured
comedy. This is obtained through the exploration of making intangible
humanistic qualities, often mind related, into visual and funny creations;
bringing to life the things that make us human.”
