Bitch Box : (noun) kennel used to separate a bitch on heat from other dogs to prevent knotting (breeding).
Ever wondered what sheep dogs in New Zealand talk about in their down time? Yes, we did too.
Hilarious comic actresses Amelia Guild and Emma Newborn breathe life into six different canine characters, giving delightfully uninhibited performances that will have you laughing until the cows come home.
This unique, genuinely Kiwi production brings a dogs eye view of a day on the farm and offers a surprisingly strong story at the heart of a brilliant comedy.
Guild and Newborn have emerged as New Zealand’s latest “ones to watch” after creating, writing and performing this highly original work. Their rare chemistry onstage combines to make a very strong, very funny, complimentary duo.
THE BITCHES’ BOX recently toured the length of New Zealand, travelling to remote woolsheds and being celebrated with sold out houses. Now Edinburgh Fringe goers will have an opportunity to see the show that has had the whole of rural New Zealand buzzing.
