LITTLE DOGS

In partnership with FRANTIC ASSEMBLY
Inspired by DYLAN THOMAS

Across the city, hearts are beating and the mating ritual has begun. In the nightclubs, the bus shelters, the back streets and the sand dunes, daring girls and reckless boys engage in a desperate dance while the less fortunate observe and pretend it doesn't hurt. Created by Frantic Assembly, and staged in Swansea’s richly atmospheric Patti Pavilion, this production is inspired by the Dylan Thomas story 'Just Like Little Dogs' and the furtive hours so many of us have spent searching for kindness and warmth in the shadows of the city.

Cast:

REMY BEASLEY

Comment by Brent Michael Drew Morgan on May 1, 2012 at 23:24: I'm excited about 'Little Dogs' so much so I am going to spend a day in rehearsals, then hold a scratch that itch inspired by the themes of 'Little Dogs' and then have a party to celebrate it being one week until opening night. Sound like fun? Come join me at Monkey Bar Swansea 5 min walk from the train station it all kicks off at 7.15pm.

Comment by Matthew Trevannion on April 29, 2012 at 20:09: Where did you first find love?

Sitting with a cup of tea with fellow little dogs cast member Remy B, (she asked to be called this) perhaps the biggest dog of us all.

M: So Remy B, when did you first find love?

Remy B: I was walking along one day and I looked up to the sky and I spotted a small beautiful bird in a tree/

M: /take this seriously. When?

Remy B: and I thought this is love.

M: Get a grip. When?

Remy B: I dunno 1992?

M: When you were... seven?

Remy B: Big time.

M: Don't believe you. I'll get the ball rolling. I first found love in Drama school.

Remy B: Cringe.

M: I know. On our first day I spotted this girl (who later became my girlfriend) sat next to a guy (who later became a friend) and thought if she is with that dickhead there is absolutely no justice in the world.

Remy B: what a beautiful story. I'm ready to talk about me.

M: Hit me.

Remy B: The first time I found love eeer, which I thought at the time was love was with a guy named Perry.

M: Perry?

Remy B: Yeah, why?

M: Carry on.

Remy BHe was two years above me in school and we also went to amateur dramatics together. Um, and um he bought me a dog.

M: Good plug.

Remy B: Yeah a stuffed dog from bear factory called Dve, and he put his voice in it.

M: He put his voice in it? Like a recording?

Remy B: Yeah and I listened to it every night before bed. Then he dumped me.Livid slash devastated. Cried for months on the ground.

M:Brilliant. Let's rap this up/

Remy B:/and I went round his house and his mum came to the door and lied and told me he'd gone to visit his nan in Margate.

M: Right. Maybe we should/

Remy B: and then I rang him up and played his own voice down the phone to him.

M: What? from the dog?

Remy B: Dave.

Silence.

M: Best leave it there.

Comment by abdul shayek on April 29, 2012 at 14:53: Great pics, sounds like rehearsals have been hardwork but productive and fun. Can't wait for the show, also can't wait to come in to a rehearsal to watch the team in action. See you all soon.

Comment by Jordan Bernarde on April 29, 2012 at 13:37: I slept for 13 hours last night. That's how tired I am. However, I woke up smiling. I love this job and can't wait to start week three x
