After the death of SON's Nan, SON returns to his hometown, but MAM's boyfriend MIKE, not from the area, has other ideas about what's best for them. As the town's grip re-takes its hold, SON struggles to suppress his rising grief, tensions with MIKE intensify, and there can only be so long until the levy breaks. Lost, angry and broken, SON is forced to confront the question: can you ever truly leave the place you're from? Full of wit, warmth and unstereotyped working-class charm, bite and tenderness, Dog Hair is about the struggle between place and identity, and how 'No matter how far you go from home, you'll always have dog hair on your clothes'. (May also include instances of Genesis).
