THEATRE: Consumed - HOTA, Shock Therapy Arts

Title: Consumed

Presented By: HOTA in association with Shock Therapy Arts

Synopsis: Inspired by a remarkable true story, CONSUMED is an outrageous dark comedy that follows a young aspiring content creator who pushes their body and sanity to the limit while the world watches, clicks and demands more.
