a traveller’s guide to turkish dogs

An effortlessly charming tale of two strays.

A journey across continents. Turkish Dogs the true story of a mad historian, immortal fishermen, and the God of Wolves; border crossings, buried treasure, and the value of companionship. It’s an OE like you’ve never seen or heard.

“Pure stage magic. It’s the reason theatre can still compete with Netflix… This devastatingly charming show will be hard to beat.” – Regional News

“Strength of vision and generosity sees it told with heart” – Theatreview

“This is a quite astonishing ‘small’ production.. Go and see this.” – Simon Sweetman – Off the Tracks

“…an excellent story told well. It provokes joy, wonder and thought from its audience” – Art Murmurs

Turkish Dogs premiered at Circa Theatre in Te Whanganui-a-Tara in 2020, and has since toured around Aotearoa: Dunedin, Wanaka, Kirikiriroa, Tāmaki Makaurau, Kerikeri, and Whangārei.

It was created and performed by Stevie Hancox-Monk, Barnaby Olson, Tess Sullivan, Andrew Paterson and Jonathan Price, with set design by Lucas Neal and sound design by Oliver Devlin. Sepelini Mua’au has also performed with the company on tour.
