On February 1, I will be attending a play briefing for Queensland Theatre Company’s The Little Dog Laughed:
Hot acting property, Mitchell, is about to make it big professionally, but his personal life is a mess. His cunningly manipulative agent, Diane, knows that Mitchell can be the next big thing, if he can only overcome his ‘slight recurring case of homosexuality’.
When Mitchell falls for the young hustler Alex and tongues start wagging, Diane resorts to increasingly ridiculous schemes to keep the truth from coming out – literally.
Douglas Carter Beane’s wicked comedy is torn straight from the pages of today’s celebrity magazines, and strips back the superficial glitz and glamour to reveal the hypocrisy and double–dealing that is the real price of fame.
I did a brief Google search of the play and came across a few YouTube videos from other parts of the world. And then I came across this shot of Johnny Galecki (yes, the nerd-guy from The Big Bang Theory) pic from the 06 The Little Dog Laughed show via The New York Times website (see photo on the right). More details about the awards won in relation to these two here.
The season starts February 8 and ends March 13 at the Cremorne Theatre in QPAC.
