"An addict is forced on stage in front of a judgemental audience, she has to face her demons in the form of the black dog Master of Ceremonies. She will sing and dance for your entertainment but the only way she can leave this other-worldly hell is by facing herself...."
The show explores the roots of addiction, it's consequences and impacts and asks what really is addiction and why do we do it?

Show trailer coming soon - this is an early version made with Sohail Kahn.
