O No! by Jamie Wood

A psychedelic ride, and a wonky homage to the woman damned for destroying the Beatles, O No! borrows Yoko Ono’s art instructions to ask whether falling in love is always catastrophic. A sell-out success and one of the most talked about shows of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2015.

It’s about reckless optimism, avant-garde art and what we might yet have to learn from the hippies.

Reviews

“…like being sucked down a rabbit hole full of joy.” ★★★★ Fest

“A slice of sweet absurdity that made me smile from beginning to end” ★★★★ Lyn Gardner, The Guardian

“Fractious, hilarious and punctuated by undeniable beauty, Jamie Wood’s tribute to Yoko Ono is a thing of mischief and magic” ★★★★★The Stage

“By the end, Wood has got the entire audience making music and probably doubled the amount of happiness floating around…” ★★★★ The Guardian
