They’re being asked to market the newest product in health and wellness: human meat. The team's ridiculous attempts to glamorize cannibalism offer a glimpse into the unsavory world of influencing.

    A devastating romp straight into the heart of content creation, Appetite explores, with blistering gusto and a not insignificant amount of cannibalism, the lengths to which people will go to be influential. Alberta's script crackles with razor-sharp wit and laser-like focus, barreling us towards a conclusion as surprising as it is inevitable. It is the rare play that is as thought-provoking as it is undeniably hilarious and pulls off the magic trick of having its human meat and eating it too.
