John Christopher Wood, Edinburgh Fringe award-winner, Venue hack and author of cult comedy classic ‘Elsie and Norm's Macbeth’ bares all about sin, trousers, bodily fluids, the secret life of birds and other unmentionable things. If you are easily shocked, do not stick your fingers in electric sockets; otherwise be sure not to miss this very revealing show. An off-beat comedy with a highly individual view of aspects of life and love not often spoken of. Full of quirky insights, oddball verse and eccentric songs. Touches previously unsuspected funny bones. “Wood is immensely talented.” - Bath Chronicle. |

Sabina Spielrein was one of the most important figures in the history of psychoanalysis. So why has no-one ever heard of her? In this new play, commissioned by Bath actor Rosamund Barker and written specially for her, Spielrein reviews her bizarre and tormented life for her captive audience and confronts them with the scandals of her appalling treatment by the tyrannical men in her life, from her terrorising father to Adolf Hitler, passing Professor Sigmund Freud on the way... and not forgetting her saviour and destroyer the renowned Dr Jung.
