Dogstar

'It's nice to look at something different, isn't it? Something beautiful for a change after all this sickness.'The crew of the Dogstar are dropping like flies. Whalers with no whales left to catch, they have been icebound for months and a whiff of mutiny is in the air as they look to cast blame. But something strange is happening. Are the crew's heavenly visions a symptom of scurvy, a result of the endless polar night – or a chance at salvation?Dogstar is a darkly comic story about the forces that shape our lives, even at the edge of the world. Daisy Hall's play was first performed at Hampstead Theatre, London, in 2026, directed by Lucy Morrison.
