Dogstar

Dogstar is Daisy Hall’s darkly comic new play set aboard an icebound whaling ship. With no whales left to catch, the crew have been stranded for months, sailors are dying and mutiny is beginning to take hold. As strange heavenly visions spread through the vessel, the survivors must decide whether they are symptoms of scurvy, consequences of the endless polar night or signs of salvation. Directed by Lucy Morrison, the production combines maritime suspense, black humour and a searching exploration of belief, blame and the forces that shape human lives.
