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? Daisy Hall returns to Hampstead Downstairs, following sell-out hit Bellringers in 2024. Dogstar is a darkly comic story about the forces that shape our lives, even at the edge of the world. Lucy Morrison returns to Hampstead following 2025 sell-out hit Personal Values, Akedah and The Animal Kingdom. Her other credits include Hope Has a Happy Meal, That Is Not Who I Am and Scenes with girls (all Royal Court).
