Obsessive, Compulsive, Divine is a dark comedy by Cambridge University Amateur Dramatic Club, performed at Mint Studio during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The play follows Eileen, a woman plagued by visions of violence, intrusive musical numbers, and impulses she cannot control. Unable to sleep for thoughts of hitting her sisters with a frying pan, she turns to hardcore praying and invests heavily in holy equipment in the hope of curing her homicidal instincts. Running 60 minutes, tickets are £12 and the show is suitable for ages 12 and over.
Why see this show?
A dark comedy that treats intrusive thoughts and compulsion with both honesty and absurdist wit. Eileen's desperate recourse to religion as a solution to her own mind makes for a show that is funny, unsettling, and unexpectedly touching.
