Forget About The Dog are a critically-acclaimed, national-touring theatre company based in Leeds and Harrogate. They are Jordan, Josh, Leanne, Natalie and Robin, a collective of writers, performers, directors, producers (and friends) sharing a passion for cohesive nonsense, thought provoking whimsy and well-made tea.
Our work is adventurous, physically dynamic and visually cinematic. Our mission is to create work that finds the joy, humour and meaning in humanity. To date, we have produced three original plays which have had successful runs at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and the latter two have gone on tours of the UK.
We are currently preparing for Happy Place 2024 whilst working on our next production, as well as concepts and adaptations for film, tv and radio. Keep your eyes peeled for more on this…
