Three Dog Night has had productions in Melbourne at fortyfivedownstairs and the Adelaide Festival Centre, to great reviews and full houses. It is currently looking forward to a national tour in 2010. For more information please contact info@twobluecherries.com.

Based on the award-winning Peter Goldsworthy novel of the same name, Three Dog Night, questions the philosophical challenge of learning how to die and Australia’s conflicted multi-culture. It is an ironic, restless and at times confronting work about the fathomless human capacity for self-deception; about the means we invent to hide our true feelings.

This modern day tragedy explores the underlying impulses that shape human behaviour via an Aboriginal Dreaming. Indigenous spirituality and storytelling are intrinsic to this story’s exploration of the clinical conviction that compassion is the means to liberation. Beginning in the Adelaide Hills, Three Dog Night journeys to the vast expanse of the Australian outback and takes us deep into the desert of the human soul.

“Two Blue Cherries, Three Dog Night is a dramatically assured three-hander…Andrew Gray’s direction excels at animating Golsworthy’s ironic repartee. The naturalistic drama is also surefooted…Misha Doumnov’s incidental music – a mix of live violin and pre-recorded sounds – adds a pensive texture. Goldsworthy’s novel involves a dramatic triangulation between love and death and the life of the mind… this production encapsulates that tension in a compelling way.“ Cameron Woodhead, The Age
