The Dapto Chaser is a biting black comedy by award-winning playwright Mary Rachel Brown about chasing dreams, racking up debts, and the cut-throat world of greyhound racing. Directed by Anna Houston and starring Peter Carroll, the play follows the Sinclair family, for whom greyhound racing is a religion and their dog Boy Named Sue is their heart and soul. With the odds stacked against them, the Sinclairs' riskiest bet may not be on their champion greyhound but on each other. The play captures the highs and lows of two brothers taking a gamble on life, where every win is a fleeting victory and every loss tastes like stale kibble.
