Saturday 13th May

Those who enjoy absurd humour, the ridiculous side of avant-garde art and 1970s counter culture will enjoy this comical performance. Following a good dose of hype after its showing at Edinburgh Fringe 2015 actor, director and 'clown doctor' Jamie Wood is taking O No! on tour throughout the UK. Described as a' psychedelic ride', and a 'wonky homage to the woman damned for destroying the Beatles' O No! follows Yoko Ono's instructive guide for artists, whatever surreal twist they take, and asks if there are still things we can learn from the hippies.
