An original comedy musical set in a 5 day self-help retreatrun by the charismatic influencer & health guru Osmond. 5 people withmodern, 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 yr old filled with anxiety about the future of the planet and very sceptical about Osmond
All looks as itis going well until Osmond uses some questionable tactics to crack open themind of Jasmine. Osmond may not be the all-knowing health guru he proclaimed tobe and now the group must think for themselves before they get sucked into hiscult. But most importantly, will they discover the answer to the question‘What’s Wrong With Me?’
Featuring alloriginal music and songs including “I’ll Be Here”, Cressida’s heart-wrenchingode to her plants, “Set Fire to the Fear” & “Teach Me How to Downward Dog”,a double entendre laden song about learning yoga.
