What’s On?
DDOS Presents: What’s Wrong With Me?
Tuesday 14 – Saturday 18 May, 7.30pm
An original comedy musical set in a 5 day self-help retreat run by the charismatic influencer & health guru Osmond. 5 people with modern, first-world problems try to work out how to fix their lives. They are:
- Cressida, the heart-broken agoraphobic obsessed with her plants
- Andy, a man in his 40’s muddling his way through being a “new gay”
- Karen, sensible accountant by day and wild sexaholic by night
- Paul, appears to be a stereotypical “lad” but is feeling very lost after his mother’s death
- Jasmine, young 18 year old filled with anxiety about the future of the planet and very sceptical about Osmond
All looks as it is going well until Osmond uses some questionable tactics to crack open the mind of Jasmine. Osmond may not be the all-knowing health guru he proclaimed to be and now the group must think for themselves before they get sucked into his cult. But most importantly, will they discover the answer to the question ‘What’s Wrong With Me?’
Featuring all original music and songs including “I’ll Be Here”, Cressida’s heart-wrenching ode to her plants, “Set Fire to the Fear” & “Teach Me How to Downward Dog”, a double entendre laden song about learning yoga.
First presented in short format during the Camden Fringe 2022 to sell out audiences, DDOS are proud to present the premiere of the full show at the Green Room Theatre.
