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 is premiered at Hampstead Theatre in 2026.
