AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'John Everyman has been gifted a dog - an unwelcome intrusion into an otherwise ordered life. But the demands of ‘owning’ one lead that life in directions he hadn’t anticipated. In a compellingly human story that ranges from slapstick through to pathos (and all stops between), this gentle yet moving reflection on the meaning of life and love will send you out into the night with a sense of having journeyed to the heart of what it is to be human.

'‘Everyman & His Dog’ was inspired, somewhat obviously, by the expression itself which, like most idiomatic expressions, can be contracted to just one word: Everyone.'
