Back to a world without moral leadership or integrity; a world where wealth covers vice; where the poor are dehumanised; where the jokes fall flat; where live art has become the privilege of the few. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eTruth's a Dog Must to Kennel\u003c\/i\u003e is a daringly unaccommodating piece of theatre that switches between scathingly funny stand-up and an audacious act of collective imagining. \u003ci\u003eKing Lear\u003c\/i\u003e meets stand-up meets the metaverse.
