When CB's dog dies from rabies, CB begins to question the existence of an afterlife. His best friend is too burnt out to provide any coherent speculation; his sister has gone goth; his ex-girlfriend has recently been institutionalized; and his other friends are too inebriated to give him any sort of solace. But a chance meeting with an artistic kid, the target of this group's bullying, offers CB a peace of mind and sets in motion a friendship that will push teen angst to the very limits. Drug use, suicide, eating disorders, teen violence, rebellion and sexual identity collide and careen toward an ending that's both haunting and hopeful. 4 men, 4 women.… (altro)

actually it's a good play about some stories and adventures that happens in schools or colleges. it was funny though. but i'm not in the mood for teenage's problems.so it's a personal conclusion.
maybe if you want to see a real complicated problems between schoolboys, you should watch "Elephant" by Gus Van Sant ( )

This play is an unauthorized take on Peanuts. The names aren't quite right, but it's obvious enough, and the dialogue minimizes the use of the weird names so that you can pretty much keep the "real" characters in mind. They're all in high school now, and it's pretty rough. Snoopy went rabid and killed Woodstock, and had to be put down. Charlie Brown throws a funeral but no one comes. Sally is a goth, but last week she was a hippie, and next week she'll be something else. Pig Pen is a neat freak who bullies the other boys and molests the women. Schroeder is eternally harassed and no longer friends with the gang. Not that there's a lot of friendship to go around. Marcie and Peppermint Patty are gossiping floozies. Lucy is in prison!

Some of it's funny. It's dark humor mostly, but I like the jokes about Snoopy's funeral and Lucy's prison sentence. It's kinda fun to see how these character would turn out older. I know there are tons of imaginings of how Calvin and Hobbes end up later on out there on the Internet, and I suspect the same probably exists for Peanuts, though I'm not familiar with it myself. The problem with Dog Sees God is that it goes too far, sometimes; some of the things Charlie Brown does here make him unrecognizable. He and Pig Pen supposedly physically bully Schroeder, and I just don't buy it; ditto the way Linus, Marcie, and Peppermint Patty are portrayed. The two girls, especially, seem to do shocking things for the sake of shock.

If the story is meant to uproot our Peanuts preconceptions with an explosion of darkness, then that would be fine, but there are obviously points where it wants to be touching, too. But to be touching means it needs my preexisting affection for the characters from reading Peanuts all those years, because there's nothing here to generate affection for these characters. But if that's so, then Charlie Brown has to actually be close enough to the Charlie Brown that I remember. Dog Sees God tries to be both shocking and touching, and I don't think it manages that mix right; the "shocking" stuff stops my affection for these characters from fully engaging, and thus I don't buy the "touching" moments. If there even is a way to manage that mix right.

That said, some of those touching moments really do work. In a good stage production, that last scene could especially hit really hard. Dog Sees God remains an interesting experiment, but ultimately a flawed one.

(I was surprised to discover from Wikipedia that Bert V. Royal went on to be the screenwriter of the acclaimed 2010 teen film Easy A. Also, there was apparently a production of Dogs Sees God with Eliza Dushku as Lucy!)
