Son of a Dog delves into the investigation surrounding the crash of Egypt Air 990 in October of 1999.
Travelling between transcripts, interviews, and other source materials, the play paints a muddy image of cultural
difference, misunderstanding, and the elusiveness of truth.
The set anchors itself in a conference room, surrounded
by the ghost of the crash presented as a jumble of English and Arabic documents.
The characters can pass in and
out of the reality, like the facts and opinions that shade their judgement.
