Young Vic Theatre: Ivan and The Dogs

Four-year-old Ivan would rather face living on the streets of Moscow than stay home. Now, to survive he faces new challenges; from young gangs of boys to the police, and his own hunger.

But all is not lost as Ivan finds family amongst the other outcasts around him – the dogs.

Genesis Award winner Caitriona Shoobridge directs this one-person play exploring the need for kindness and trust when, despite being betrayed by the people around you, family can still be forged in the face of adversity.
‘Hattie Naylor’s writing beautifully conveys the incredible way the boy and dogs connected to each other, and one leaves the theatre feeling disgust for those on two legs, but admiration for those on four.’ The Telegraph
