Cosmic Healing at Theatre at the Tabard

A tragi-comic tale of dopamine withdrawal and compost lavatories

At his Cosmic Energy Healing Retreat, Paul John – fallen bad boy of British comedy turned internet guru- promises an end to earthly pain.

But when a group of lost souls and neurotics travel to the East Coast of Wales in search of the Enlightenment he promises, they find Paul John is just a spaced-out bum living in an orange tent.

Mud, mess, compost lavs, and dopamine withdrawal push each of Paul John’s frazzled ‘disciples’ to the brink. And one by one, they start to wonder, is this really the end of Suffering or just a seriously horrid holiday?

The latest play from upcoming author Panda La Terriere, this humorous tragi-comedy plays 12 performances in January 2025.

Curtain Twitchers & co. produces fast-paced, original comedies which veer off unexpectedly into the supernatural or existential. Their absurdist comedy My Neighbours Are Kind of Weird? had a six day sell-out run at the Drayton Theatre in April 2023 and was then riotously well received at the Edinburgh Fringe.
