Shakespeare’s Dog
by Rick Chafe
With his sights on London and
his family in Stratford, a young William Shakespeare is torn between
the two loves of his life: the theatre and his wife. Living in a wild
world full of unpredictable creatures—beasts, beggars, witch hunters,
and actors—William’s family must find a way to cope with their changing
Elizabethan world.
With four legs, a keen eye,
and a sharp tongue, Hooker, Shakespeare’s dog, tells the story of
how the Stratford rogue became the world’s most famous playwright.
Based on the novel by Leon
Rooke, Shakespeare’s Dog tells the tale of the Bard’s life
from a unique perspective, showing that in the Elizabethan era, lust,
love, and lives collide, and it is anyone’s guess who is top dog.
“In his bawdy stage adaptation…
Winnipeg playwright Rick Chafe has richly imagined the circumstances
that altered the course of literary history and set a grasping Stratford
glover's son on the road to London and immortality.”
