The Ceremony

Edinburgh Preview

Welcome. Welcome to The Ceremony. Thank you. You’re welcome.

Playfully exploring ritual and tradition in the modern world, The Ceremony is an improvised, interactive ritual – part sermon, part group therapy, part comedy show. Not a cult.

Crafted afresh from audience responses, the show changes every single time it’s performed. We rummage through our collective pasts/presents/futures/other to see what kind of ceremony emerges. Or is that the ceremony? Who are we? What are we doing? Does this mean anything? What does meaning mean? Hmm.

Come in. Take a seat. Contemplate your life. Contemplate my life. Join me. And let The Ceremony begin…
