Welcome to the kitchen where dreams come to die. Master Sausage only knows one thing. Eat, sleep, sausage, repeat. But when a fresh-faced Apprentice arrives, sinister questions rear their heads. Is there more to life than this? What does it mean to be happy? And what's in those sausages anyway? Featuring dynamic physical theatre, a pitch-black comedic script and a killer soundtrack, Expial Atrocious' absurdist thriller demands to be seen and heard... Have you got the guts? ***** (Everything-Theatre.co.uk). ***** (FringeBiscuit.com). Nominated for an OffFest award at VAULT Festival 2023.

This is what I look for at the Fringe : fresh, raw, all but ordinary. The performers really leave their heart on the stage. Recommended!!

This highly unusual absurdist, physical and visually vibrant piece is a thing of grim and offal beauty.
