CONSUMED

Dark comedy, disturbing, hilarious, grotesque

New Show!

New Show!

CONSUMED is a new original dark comedy that takes a razor-sharp look at our obsession with influencers, consumerism, and the hidden cost of turning people into commodities.

Inspired by the astonishing true story of a man who ate an entire aeroplane, CONSUMED is a story about a 14-year-old girl, Jane who has a rare medical condition, Pica, who becomes a popular influencer by eating inedible objects.

The show details her journey from an innocent outsider to a burnt-out internet sensation, driven by her parents and a manipulative manager. The story escalates with a "plane-eating" stunt, leading to a copycat incident with tragic consequences. Jane faces backlash and criminal charges, culminating in a final "act of redemption" that is revealed to be a satirical statement on the “feeding frenzy” surrounding online celebrities. CONSUMED is an exploration of the nature of social media and human connection.

CONSUMED is available to book in schools from Term 1, 2026 and will have a special public premiere season at HOTA on 12th - 13th March, 2026.
