Skeletons (Or How I Learned to Love F*cking Up)
“A hilarious send-up of the burgeoning life-coach industry” ★★★★ - LondonTheatre1
“I am a fallible idiot. I fuck up all the time. Everybody here has fucked something up. But… there is poetry in failure. There is humanity in failure. My failures make me an AWESOME UNIQUE MOTHERFUCKER!”
The self-help industry is valued at more than £6 billion a year. We all want to be healthier, wealthier, more successful - and we’re willing to pay for it.
But in a society tells us ‘belief’ is all we need to succeed, can embracing failure be a form of resistance?
Expect impossible tasks, cringeworthy confessions and surreal ‘self-help’ mantras in an absurd and confrontational live performance.
