An Online Resource of Live Performance
We have been inundated with support for our online education program and are pleased to be able to bring the joy of live performance to schools in an accessible format. While the online version of these performances can never replace the experience of being in a theatre, we understand that it’s not always possible for our audience to be able to attend a performance in person.
Slingsby by Request offers access to three Slingsby productions, plus an online workshop option.

- Slingsby Theatre Techniques
The Boy Who Talked To Dogs
Presented by Slingsby and State Theatre Company South Australia
Adapted for the stage by Amy Conroy
From the book by Martin McKenna
Suitable for Year Levels 7-12
70 mins (no interval)
Young Martin is a misfit. Bullied at school and misunderstood at home, his only comfort comes from sneaking off to the family coal shed to bond with his German Shepherds, Major and Rex. When things reach breaking point, the 13 year old runs away from his home in Limerick, Ireland, and finds himself taken in by a new family – a pack of stray dogs. As they dodge trains, steal meals and fight for survival, Martin finds himself on the road he was always meant to take.
