Two Dogs
Synopsis
Two dogs, a mongrel and a prize bulldog, become neighbours. The pampered bulldog is not impressed by the life of the mongrel who suffers constant mistreatment and starvation but intends to maintain that relative advantage. A chance encounter with a wealthy man finds both dogs reduced to the same level in the eyes of this superior entity: they are merely two dogs - a suggestion which thoroughly irks the bulldog. By a cruel stroke of fate both of their masters die suddenly and the dogs now have to contend with a very bleak future. Two Dogs dramatises the foibles of social classes. In this play the whipped mongrel characterizes the working class while the prize bulldog holding on tenaciously to a status, characterizes the middle class .The pompous human visitor suitably represents the affluent class. The play outlines the propensities of social classes to alienate the interests of the others. It shows that when stripped of their comfort zones, there is really very little difference. And as the mongrel declares at exeunt we are all dogs.
