Alone, dressed as a sausage in a bun and armed with only a bottle of lemonade, Hotdog is determined to be the life of the party.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, right?
Hotdog is a new dark comedy exploring the aftermath of a traumatic event and how it feels to lose yourself when you thought you were only just beginning.
Co-presented with Traverse Theatre and Macrobert Arts Centre.
