The Dogs of Pripyat is an adult fable that explores one consequence of the
nuclear meltdown at Chernobyl in 1986. Residents in nearby towns (the
Exclusion Zone) were forced to evacuate - but they had to leave their pets
behind. This is a story about bonding and survival - and a groundbreaking
parable for our time.

Leah Napolin is best-known for her play YENTL, her adaptation of a short
story by Isaac Bashevis Singer that ran for a season on Broadway in 1975
and was subsequently made into a movie by Barbra Streisand. Other works for
the stage include: LOST ISLAND, TRASH AND TREASURES and ARISTOPHANES'
RETREAT.  THE DOGS OF PRIPYAT was her exploration of what might have
happened to the animals who were forced to deal with the aftermath of
radiation poisoning. They did, in fact, survive.

DOGS won the prestigious John Gassner Memorial Playwriting Award and has
been adapted for the musical theatre.
