About

2 Hikers. One Cafe. No Way Out.

Today's Special is serving home-made burgers with a side of murder, and a hint of something personal.
When two students grab their walking boots, they embark on a journey far beyond what they predicted, one that will be their last. A dingy café, a shady waitress, and a rucksack opening a deeper story, they'll find themselves wishing they had in fact stayed on the road, and kept the hunger wanting more.

Today's Special is a new piece of theatre, one you will want to savour.
