    I saw this play at CATF in 2022. It is a very strong and moving two-hander. You begin to care deeply about these two police officers and hope that the racial divisions don't destroy a seemingly supportive relationship. But lies and secrets are not the cornerstones of a good relationship. "Sheepdog" is smart and gripping and as timely as ever.
