About Dogs in Wellies
Waving is a debut play by Rosalind Philp, performed by Dogs in Wellies at Stephenson Theatre at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Set in a coastal studio, the play follows an artist who is no longer the woman her children recognise, and the ripple effect on her adored son and overlooked daughter. Time and reality blur as the show explores life, loss and identity through the lens of a creative yet destructive family. The play is both moving and humorous. The show runs for 50 minutes, carries an age guidance of 14+, and contains distressing or potentially triggering themes.
Why see this show?
A thoughtful and emotionally honest debut play that balances warmth with real weight. Rosalind Philp's coastal family drama is intimate and affecting — fifty minutes that stay with you well after the tide retreats.
