It’s 2025 and King Herod is leading a self-development pyramid scheme.

You remember Herod, the biblical despot and enemy of Jesus?

That’s right: he’s done the work, he’s reached inside and by God, he’s got a wellness program to show for it. Expect frivolity, shock and redemption in a process which asks the big questions: Who can we really trust? What are eggs? Why are you crying? In a post-truth world punctuated by conspiracy, division and collapse, it’s time to forgive… yourself.

Healing King Herod reached critical acclaim at its Edinburgh run, following its preview at Soho Theatre and sell out run at VAULT Festival 2023. It was nominated Show of the Week and the recipient of Phoebe Waller Bridge’s Keep it Fringe fund.

The world has changed a lot since 2023. Join Herod in a revamped hour of transformation.
