Lost Dog’s work defies categorisation. We’re theatre and dance and live music and dark comedy all rolled up together.

‘this company...constantly walks a tightrope between opposites. They create dance, they create theatre; they use words, they use dance; they offer wisdom, they offer foolishness; they make you spring up in hope and they make you slump in despair. They are one of the most fascinating theatre companies around.’ The Observer

At the centre of each show there is usually a familiar story or (often venerated) classic text which is retold, re-imagined or reinvented through words, music and movement.  Ben Duke, has a talent for finding the ordinary in the extraordinary, making great works entirely relatable to modern audiences, seeing tragedy and comedy in the everyday.  Our shows offer audiences an evening of genuine, laugh out loud entertainment while quietly (sometimes loudly) breaking their hearts.

We perform all over the country and all over the world - in village halls, opera houses, barns and arts centres, wherever there’s a room and a gathering of people. Making connections, bringing people together to share time, space and stories is at the heart of everything we do and we are always on the look out for friends and supporters who feel the same way.

If you have enjoyed one of our shows, been moved, or provoked or dazzled, we would be delighted if you would join our small but growing band of Friends and Supporters who enable us to keep on making and keep on touring. We couldn’t do it without them.
