Little Sausage

Little Sausage is a new musical about the nation’s most controversial sausage. It uses the real words of ‘real’ men to explore toxic masculinity, plant-based dating, and the game-changing Gregg’s vegan sausage roll. Little Sausage is a new verbatim musical that explores the relationship between veganism and masculinity.

Little Sausage follows a Yorkshire lad and how his relationship with friends and family changes during his journey from cheese addict to animal activist, including his decision to bulk up (with several cans of beans daily) in order to defy the stereotype that vegans are all ‘pale, pasty and wasting away’.

With words and lyrics comprised entirely of interviews with everyone from an Australian activist to a non-vegan who grew up in farming communities in Northern England, Little Sausage uses real words and folk-pop music to explore the myth that meat equals manliness.

After three years of development – and a few national lockdowns – we are thrilled to premiere the full hour-long version of Little Sausage in a work-in-progress showcase at The Other Palace.

Little Sausage is supported by the High Commission of Canada.
