Breeze Goes to Europe: A dialogue between two dogs and their owner

By Anne Mills

This unique drama uses an imaginary dialogue between two dogs and their owner to shine a light on the world's social and economic injustices. As dogs and owner alike face the harsh realities of modern life, the play explores problems of inequality, injustice, homelessness, classism, and more. The titular Breeze has led a hardscrabble existence, but things are finally looking up for him. He started out life as a mutt on the dangerous streets of Zambia. After sniffing around Mr. Scones's trash for several days, he was adopted by the kindly professor. Now, Breeze spends his days relaxing and chatting with Mr. Scones's pampered basset hound, Sicily. The two canines argue, get into trouble, and learn from each other. Sicily has never seen how less-privileged dogs live and is shocked by Breeze's everyday experiences. She enjoys being cared for by Mr. Scones, but longs to act like a "real dog," if only for a night. Then Mr. Scones announces that he is moving back to the United Kingdom. Sicily is happy to be going home, but Breeze has a hard decision to make. Is the posh lifestyle that Sicily and Mr. Scones are returning to the right one for him?
