the dog, played by Dex Lee, is a highlight from the performance. Lee
absolutely embodies the characteristics of a dog without making it
overly literal. His vocal work is outstanding, highlighting certain
words to reflect aspects and emotional responses of a dog without
impersonating, which works impeccably. He carefully displays the
naivety, purity and innocence of a dog whilst narrating incidents that
take place without action; it is an effective story-telling tool as
well as being one of the most memorable parts of the show due to how
Lee handles the text."
