Stray Dogs

“There are old coppers, and there are good coppers. There are no old good coppers.”

An incident of misconduct, an interrogation, and a dog that may or may not exist. New lines are drawn, and old faults uncovered. Matt Wixey’s sharp, incisive debut play arrives in London from the Brighton Fringe.

By a writer who spent nearly a decade in the police, Stray Dogs examines the rotten underbelly of police culture: pack mentality, what it means to be a ‘real copper’, and the consequences for stepping out of line.
