Bringing Stories to Life
Spotlighting Emerging & Returning Talent
Dogs in Wellies Theatre Company celebrates the insight and craft that come with experience. We are creating acting opportunities and actively making and producing work to highlight the expertise and creativity of actors and writers over the age of 50. Our mission is to give voice and give a start to professionals in all phases of their careers. We highlight mature and emerging artists of all ages who share a commitment to meaningful storytelling.
We are proud to work with graduates from drama schools, Royal College of Music, and English National Ballet School bringing new voices in music, choreography, and theatre onto theatre scene.
Our company is building a diverse repertoire, one piece at a time (like Waving, a debut play by Rosalind Philp) and experimental theatre (like Obit by Ava de Winter & Maximus Anderson) We are bringing new voices onto the scene, giving emerging playwrights, actors, & directors the stage to have their work seen!
We approach every production with care, craft and respect for the work. Our focus is on thoughtful storytelling, strong performances and the kind of theatre that stays with you long after the lights come up.
We take pieces from the first scribbles on a napkin to fully fledged productions, one step at a time, and give each piece the room to grow into its full potential. We refine, revise, prove, and perform a piece, letting it breathe, evolve, and mature.
Waving began as a conversation, and is now poised to take the stage at Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
We produce new work. If you have a stage ready play or idea you would like to devise, research & develop, get in contact! We're ready to produce your show.
Are you an actor interested in being in one of our shows? Please email your expression of interest!
Obit has it's premiere as part of Lambeth Fringe Festival.
Written by Ava de Winter & Choreographed by Maximus Anderson.
Obit invites you to a living eulogy for four people and one dog. Mixing dance, poetry, and music, Obit creates a dreamlike world exploring the imprint people make on artists, and how people are remembered by creatives. A tapestry, an exploration, a non-linear experience.

WAVING
A debut play by Rosalind Philp
In a coastal studio, a brilliant artist begins her final portrait as Alzheimer’s unravels the life she built. Her adult children, raised in the shadow of her talent question everything they thought they knew. Her naturally gifted son has become self‑destructive. Her daughter carries burdens that were never hers to bear. Waving is a moving and humorous look at creativity, care, and the complicated inheritance of being raised by someone extraordinary.
Waving debuted in 2025 at the Etcetera Theatre in Camden, and continued its journey in July 2026 at the White Bear in London, and then to Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August 2026.
