Cured

For some, a holy pilgrimage to Lourdes is all prayers, candles and proper holy contemplation.

For this mad bunch of disabled Scousers, it’s drinking, mucking about and getting off with each other… and definitely no bleeding miracle cures!When cocky wheelchair lad Connor clocks sharp-tongued Rose in the benefits assessment waiting room, he thinks: “Right, I’m in there.” So, he blags his way onto a subsidised Catholic charity coach trip to Lourdes just to try and cop off with her.

What follows is terrible hymns, nicked wine, one very brassed-off nun, dodgy miracles and enough Scouse lip to make St Bernadette herself go “Ey, behave!”Join four young pilgrims as they take on nonsense rules, embarrassing exes, and the big question nobody ever asks: do disabled people actually want to be fixed, or are we sound as we are, ta?Join us for this brand new play by writer and comedian Laurence Clark.
