THIS Valentine’s Day, Sam Freeman presents his new comic solo show ‘We’re Not Getting A Dog’ at the Torch Theatre exploring domestic life and neighbour relations.

“It’s really hard to describe the show”, Sam said. “I guess it best to imagine a really gorgeous Radio 4 late night comedy, but performed live - it’s heartwarming and like being wrapped in a warm hug - it’s a show to warm the soul.”

The show is equal parts domestic observation and rueful contemplation; a story about passive-aggressive letters, early-morning jet-washing, and the small rituals we undertake to make a house feel like a home. It casts a wry eye on what it means to live close to others - people we see every day, yet barely know.

It combines multiple storylines: a couple sprinting through rain to catch a bus, a man staring at a blank laptop screen in despair, a woman opening an envelope and pulling out a photograph. All of these moments draw together to tell the full story.

“It’s a real joy to perform because you let this story unfold and you see these moments where people laugh, occasionally cry, but also join the dots and discover that not everything is a simple as it first may seem,” Sam added.

“Everyone wants to know about the dog on the poster… It’s my border terrier Poppy - absolute psychopath… Whether she makes it into the show… Well… You’ll have to see it to find out.”

Read from a little black book, this hidden gem of a show is a quietly powerful and comic examination of home, connection and distance.

We’re Not Getting A Dog will be performed at the Torch, Milford Haven on Saturday, February 14 at 7.30pm. For further information visit www.torchtheatre.co.uk or call the Box Office on 01646 695267.
