SICK DOG
Written by Maariya Khalid and Directed by Lily Gilchrist
Winnie is dying (slowly – which is the worst way to go). She is despondent, miserable and fed up. She has isolated herself from her friends and family, but she is not alone. Eliza is the new top-model robot companion-carer, who looks after Winnie. Through God, pain, and Love Island, the two attempt to understand each other. These are two (sort of) beings who are desperate to love and be loved, in whatever form that takes. ‘Sick Dog’ asks questions about what it means to be human, the acceptance of death in a world that fears it and our future as maybe not the only creatures with the capacity to love.

OUR HISTORY
The Bread & Roses is an award-winning free house right in the heart of Clapham. Owned by The Battersea and Wandsworth Trade Union Council (BWTUC) and run by the Workers Beer Company, part of BWTUC Trading, it prides itself as a pub with a social consciousness.
The Bread & Roses is named in recognition of the struggle of workers around the globe for a better quality of life. The name is taken from a song written during a strike of women textile workers in Lawrence Massachusetts, USA in 1912. 27.000 women went out onto the streets and marched for eleven weeks to improve their working conditions. Their banners called for bread and roses. A poet among them, James Oppenheim, wrote the lyrics to what became the trademark song for women trade unionists around the world. It is still sung by delegates to conclude the ICTU Women's Conference.
