About a Dog

Available for over a year

Huw Brentnall’s first radio drama is a black comedy set in rural Suffolk in the early noughties. Danny Mouser is always looking out for his wayward cousin, Lee. But one day when he hits a pheasant with his van he sets off a chain of unfortunate events which include a crate of deadly home brew, an assault on a police-officer and, worst of all, a small dog. Danny may have to choose between being wingman to a free spirit, and being a good husband and father to Tracey and little Jade. Recorded on location in Suffolk, the play was one of two commissions for new writing in East Anglia. About a Dog was nominated for the Tinniswood Award 2024. Cast DANNY MOUSER .....
