Out Of My Head

Come join Alan Watts, hippie philosopher and pioneer of the counterculture for his last

night on Earth. Also, join Jeremy Stockwell; for his 23,517th

Lifelong Watts enthusiast Jeremy Stockwell has written and performs this original and curious show that explores freedom of thought and behaviour in a morally ambiguous world. Presented with the full support of the Alan Watts Estates, the play will appeal to both aficionados of Watts, and those yet to discover his enduring brand of philosophy.

The play will preview at the Cockpit Theatre from the 14th - 19th of April and will then enjoy a run at The Pleasance for The Edinburgh Festival throughout August.

In his Californian hilltop hideaway, Alan Watts contemplates his mortality and his life as freewheeling guru and spiritual rogue. From his hospital Jeremy Stockwell imagines what might have been if he had met his hero. What results is an intriguing, funny, sad, strange, and unexpected tale, a wild ride through an eccentric landscape of Love, Sex, Vodka, and Mortality.

Monday 14th to Saturday 19th April - 7:30pm
Plus a matinee on Wednesday 16th - 3:00pm

There will be a Q&A after the show on Tuesday 15th April.

Alan Watts (1915-1973) was a world-renowned writer, philosopher and broadcaster,

responsible for introducing Eastern philosophy and thought to a Western audience.
