Description

Dwight E. Watson
10 minute comedy
1 man, 1 woman

It feels like a regular day in the life of Ralph and Donna. She’s reading the paper, he’s trying to program the TV remote. A dog barks. But it’s not just any day, it’s their 40th wedding anniversary, and the dog is not the only one making noise. In this hilarious comedy, Ralph and Donna trade zingers over noise, city ordinances, and the dog. In the end though, it’s clear there’s more to their relationship than verbal jousting!

A Dog Barks was selected for Theatre Works New Milford First Annual 10 Minute Play Festival.
