Snapp is the best! The best at everything!

At least according to Snapp himself. He’s crowned himself Top Dog of his school and designated fellow students Nelly and Moss to be the school’s clowns and losers. Snapp is riding high until the extraordinarily clever Tolerance Fairy appears and challenges Snapp to do the impossible: To be nice.

By mixing classical storytelling with humour and vibrant characters, Top Dog
addresses today’s obsession with being good, better, the best. The play exposes
the invisible rules we unquestioningly live by and asks: who gets to decide what’s cool and what’s not and why?

This show is also available as bilingual version (English/Finnish).

”Theatre Taimine still knows how to create well-thought-through shows that flow naturally. I often leave Taimine’s performances caught in the midst of a minor brainstorm. This time is no exception.
