“Land beneath our feet. Got all our blood inside it hasn’t it? All that time. Belongs to us.”
On a farm in the middle of nowhere, sisters Becky and Anna try to hold their family together after the death of their mother.
Time is always moving somewhere – but here it’s very quiet.
When they discover a stranger wandering aimlessly across the land, the three establish an unlikely partnership in their determination to survive.
“We’ll be alright. Like you said. Some lambs. Some life.”
Gundog is part of the Royal Court’s Jerwood New Playwrights programme, supported by Jerwood Charitable Foundation.

His produced work includes White Sky (Royal Court/RWCMD) and Sparks (Old Red Lion).
