PEDIGREE TALES IN REVIEW
Lea Taylor and Nicola Wright are masterful professional storytellers, and their Play Fest show ‘Pedigree Tales’ was a worthy showcase of their talents. Credit must also be given to their two canine assistants, who were beautifully presented and impeccably behaved throughout.
The show was indeed a treat for dog lovers of all ages, but also funny enough to delight those who are perhaps less enthusiastic about man’s best friends. It included hilarious sketches ranging from badly behaved dogs on the bus to a helpful guide to picking up your dog’s poo - using the correct accessories of course (gold-plated scoop is de rigueur) - and always avoiding being seen by your dog whilst cleaning up its mess lest it should henceforth regard you as inferior.
The show had its serious side too, as both storytellers told moving tales of incredible canine bravery, loyalty, and ingenuity. These included accounts of some of the winners of the Dickin Medal for gallantry, instituted by Maria Dickin (founder of the PDSA) to honour the work of animals in the second world war. The expert storytelling successfully avoided over-sentimentalisation, and the brisk pace ensured that we remained engaged and enchanted throughout.
