Acclaimed theatre maker Sam Freeman is bringing We’re Not Getting A Dog, a new, comic, roughly 72-minute solo show that’s equal parts domestic observation and rueful contemplation this February to stage@leeds.

This is a story about passive aggressive letter writing, early morning jet washing and making a house a home. It’s about those who live, laugh and love meters from us, but who really, we barely know at all.

A couple run through the rain to catch a bus.
A man stares at a blank laptop screen in desperation.
A woman opens an envelope to find a photo inside.
A new house on a new street with new neighbours.

A roughly seventy-two minute show, read from a little black book, by a scruffy, bearded, glasses-wearing man in a red check shirt and black jeans who does not own a pressure washer. A new storytelling show** by Sam Freeman (Every Little Hope You Ever Dreamed, Every Time I Close My Eyes).

**This show has minimal references to dogs.
