About the show:

DOGHOLE is a coming of age metatheatrical dramedy that examines the relationship young people have with their art and ambitions. Set in rural suburban Queensland in 1999, we follow the story of DOG, an ambitious teenager obsessed with writing their novel DOGHOLE, as that’s their ticket out of their middle-of-nowhere town. As they write, they are haunted by the great white men of Australian literature and fiction and reality crossover.
