And that’s a wrap for The Last Picture. It is with a heavy heart we say goodbye to emotional support dog Sam, played with such care by Robin Simpson. What a phenomenal script written by Catherine Dyson, and such beautiful direction from John R. Wilkinson, this was a dream team of cast and creatives. 🐕

Imagine yourself in a theatre in 2026. Now picture yourself as a Year 9 student on a school trip. And then, as a citizen of Europe in 1939, as history takes its darkest turn.

While you imagine, Sam will be by your side. Sam is an emotional support dog. Sam is here to look after you. Sam will keep everyone safe.

This play is about empathy – its power, its limits, and what it asks of us. It’s about our shared past, our present, and the choices we face today.
