Andreea Helen David Joins The Cast Of SUICIDAL DOG and LAIKA written by Catalina Florescu and directed by Leo Bacica

Andreea Helen David (BBC3's Things Not To Say, Don't Mention Dementia - Series of Stories) joins the cast of 'Suicidal Dog and Laika' written by Catalina Florescu and directed by Leo Bacica. 

On for one night only on 11th of December at Dome Theatre, Birmingham, this special event, with an only female cast, presents an absurd telling of the times we live in with a critical and comical eye on the political world and what it does to people and sometimes dogs....not to miss.

Suicidal Dog & Laika blends the absurd with reality, the political with the historical; it uses fiction to investigate immigration, belonging, citizenship and communism. Through the characters of Laika - the first creature in space - and Dog - a fictional immigrant from the Middle East - the play takes us through the history of Soviet Communism peppered recollections of the violent fall of communism in Romania, and the drama of migrants and refugees crossing the Mediterranean Sea in inflatable boats -- all against the backdrop of the caustic anti-immigration rhetoric surrounding the latest U.S. Presidential elections. Revisiting dehumanizing moments in history via a play helps the audience to deal with the experienced or inherited trauma while at the same time making them more vocal in their own lives.

Running time: 80 minutes. This is a rehearsed reading performed in English
