    The smell hits you first. Earthy, metallic, alive.

    A woman welcomes you to her kitchen. A place of warmth, seduction, and quiet danger.
    She serves you her stories, her secrets... and something simmering on the stove.

    Canine is a darkly intimate, interactive ritual about hunger - for love, for power, for connection. The kind that knots in your stomach, scratching to get out.

    Join her for the feast. 

    Come hungry. Leave changed.

    Canine is currently being developed as part of Starting Blocks and will be shared as a work-in-progress. This project has also been developed through "A Pleasance Scratch", where Development Producer, Ella Dale (The Pleasance) described the work as “super bold and daring.” This is Lobster Frock's first solo piece, created and performed by Kirsty Blewett.

    "It's very feminist. It's very funny. And it really makes you think. "

    "Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."
