good dog

'An inner-city version of Under Milk Wood – a tapestry of urban life that's wry, non-judgmental and crackling with linguistic vigour... But with a sting in its tale... a howl that must be heard'

* Guardian *

'Theatre at its most simple and its most striking... Kene balances humour and tragedy with enormous skill, but, when he unites his story with real-life events, his play bites like a Rottweiler. If the argument that the way forward may not always be the good way is morally ambiguous, the play's central messages, advocating self-empowerment and positivity, are uplifting and encourage a vision of hope emerging from tragedy and despair'

* The Reviews Hub *

'Infused with an exhilarating urgency, with sparks of gentle humour, and with a fierce, deep-seated anger born of relentless injustice… compellingly vital theatre'

* The Stage *

'An amazing piece of writing with a fine ear for the vernacular and a real authenticity… funny and moving and so accurate… though much of it charts the bad things that happen — the injustices, frustrations, infidelities and personal tragedies — it is also a celebration of resilience and determination that leaves you with hope rather than anger'
