“Wild never was until you came”.
Woman is hunting wild dogs for the government bounty on their skins. Dog is her companion, swearing fealty in return for pats and treats. Dingo, meanwhile, is a hungry, cold, tired mother desperate to find her pups. When the three meet Woman’s version of the world, a world where dogs lie by fires and humans eat fruitcake is stripped away, explodes, replaced by a cold, bloody nightmare.
Review: Dogged, directed by Declan Greene. Griffin Theatre Company in association with Force Majeure.
Dingo (Sandy Greenwood, a Gumbaynggirr, Dunghutti and Bundjalung actor) stands facing the audience, dressed in a muddied tracksuit with a dingo-like mask. Her opening speech signals concern; a longing for her lost pups.
We then meet Woman (Blazey Best). Woman is of good Scottish heritage, the daughter of homesteaders and sheep graziers. She is out hunting for wild dogs. Woman is preparing a kill, ripping out a souvenir from a bloodied carcass. Her companion is Dog (Anthony Yangoyan), eager for his own reward, a taste of the kill.

Darlinghurstâs Green Park has particular significance for Sydneyâs queer population. It runs parallel to âthe wallâ on Darlinghurst Road â once a popular spot for sex work â and itâs now-demolished toilet block served as a gay beat (a spot for meeting other men for casual sex).
For the next month, people will meet in this park to sit, don headsets, and watch a play steeped in that history unfold on a wooden bench. The two characters â Warren (Steve Le Marquand), an ostensibly-straight man in his fifties visiting from regional NSW, and Edden (Joseph Althouse), a much younger Sydneysider who is openly out and in command of an easy sexuality â are here to discuss the terms of an impending hook-up. (The park remains open during performances, an
