Liz Duffy Adams News

Liz Duffy Adams' Dog Act is as much a depiction of the future as it is a nostalgia play about theatre people. The characters have no audience other than each other, and while they find joy in their own performance, the actors seem to feel the same love.

'I think I write parts that actors want to play. Because, in a way, I'm writing parts that I would want to play. It's this sort of language and storytelling and character-driven nature of my work, even as you know, the heart is the humanity of it. And I think that's attractive to actors, and hence to directors and audience.'

Main Street Theater (MST) is bringing back the post-apocalyptic vaudevillesque comedy Dog Act by Liz Duffy Adams. “What Liz [Duffy Adams] does with language is so much fun in terms of the way she re-makes it and so re-imagines the world,” says director Andrew Ruthven. “It’s unlike any play I’ve ever directed. The importance of language, the importance of story-telling, the importance of human connection in this post-apocalyptic world, combined with the genuine absurdity of the world she’s created – it’s just wild to explore.” MST first produced Dog Act in 2012.
