“Priceless… wonderful. One out of the box; a winner.” — John Smythe, Theatreview In an era where a single post can shatter a life, Social Animal brings a sharp, satirical edge to the Auckland stage following its hit season in Wellington. Opening at Q Loft on April 7 and then touring New Zealand in June with Arts on Tour NZ, this solo tour de force explores the fragility of fame and the unexpected paths to redemption. Presented in association with Greyhounds as Pets, the production highlights a timely connection to the New Zealand racing industry’s upcoming closure in July 2026, and the thousands of dogs seeking new lives beyond the track. Actor Joe Quigley was the face of Parks, the nation’s favourite TV detective—until one reckless comment cost him everything. With his career, marriage, and reputation in ruins, the last thing Joe needs is a stray, neurotic ex-racing greyhound following him home. But as Joe navigates life on the other side of fame, he discovers that this ill-disciplined dog and a quirky community of local walkers might be exactly what he needs to solve his own life’s greatest mystery: who is he without the spotlight? Biting satire and theatre wizardry fuse as award-winning actor Stephen Papps inhabits a rich menagerie of characters—human and canine alike—with beguiling virtuosity. Created by Papps and Damon Andrews, the production arrives with widespread critical acclaim. Cate Prestidge from Theatreview describes Social Animal as “glorious,” noting it is “impressive for a performer to embody a big range of characters … well-written and full of humorous insights and revelations!”

The film follows George Hardy (Jackman), a shepherd who loves his sheep and raises them only for their wool. Every night he reads aloud a murder mystery, pretending his sheep can understand, never suspecting that not only can they understand but they argue for hours afterwards about whodunnit. When George is found dead under mysterious circumstances, the sheep realize at once that it was a murder and think they know everything about how to go about solving it. The local cop Tim Derry (Braun), on the other hand, has never solved a serious crime in his life, so the sheep conclude they will have to solve it themselves, even if it means leaving their meadow for the first time and facing the fact that the human world isn’t as simple as it appears in books.
