Actor on a Box: The Loaded Dog
By Henry Lawson
Director Stefo Nantsou
An explosive tale about a trio of miners and their dog. When their overgrown pup Tommy steals a stick of dynamite and runs it through a fire, the wick is lit for mayhem and chaos. This delightful Australian classic tale comes from the pen of one of our favourite bush poets, Henry Lawson.
