- **Event Description**: You can’t teach an old dog new tricks… can you?

Actor Joe Quigley was the nation’s favourite TV detective – until one reckless comment cost him his career, marriage and carefully curated public image.

Then a stray greyhound follows him home. Can Quigley find room in his heart for a neurotic animal with insecurity issues almost as big as his own?

As Joe navigates life on the other side of fame, he discovers that this ill-disciplined dog and a quirky community of local walkers might be exactly what he needs to solve his own life’s greatest mystery: who is he without the spotlight?

Biting satire and theatre wizardry fuse as award-winning actor Stephen Papps inhabits a rich menagerie of characters—human and canine alike—with beguiling virtuosity. Created by Papps and Damon Andrews, the production arrives in Dunedin with widespread critical acclaim.

“Priceless… wonderful. One out of the box; a winner.”
— John Smythe, Theatreview

“Well written, full of humorous insights and revelations. Glorious!”
