Nathan & Ida’s Hot Dog Stand
10th & 11th Aug 6pm, 12th Aug 4.30pm £10
Nathan and Ida Hardwerker leave the old country to build a better life for themselves in the New World: taking with them nothing but hope, a will to succeed and a secret recipe for sauce.
A feast of comedy served with generous helpings of clowning, mime, dance and a pinch of puppetry (with hints of the classic cartoons), this fast-paced two-hander evokes tantalising tastes of a glorious bygone era: silent movies, carnival rides and sepia-toned postcards. Hitch a ride on this comedy rollercoaster where business is brutal but hot dogs will never let you down.
An alternative comedy biopic very loosely based on a real life hot dog stand.
