Sarah Cartwright - The Means to an End
4 Extra Debut. When Barney's dog is run over, he wonders how to pay the vet's bill - until fate intervenes. Comedy by Sarah Cartwright starring Daniel Kirby. From June 2013.
When Barney's dog is run over he wonders if life is worth living but then fate in the shape of a Spanish veterinary nurse and a parrot called mittens intervenes.
Directed by Sally Avens.
Barney hates everything about his life. Everything, but his dog. His dog doesn't care that he's an awkward loser. That he's 36, single and broke. That he sweats when he's nervous. That he's been stuck in the same job for seven years and three months and still doesn't know how to work the cappuccino machine. That he's scared of his pubescent boss, and lusts after a girl who doesn't know he exists.
So when his dog is run over, Barney realises he's got nothing left to lose, but then a motivational talk from his boss is the beginning of a series of apparently life-changing events.
