King Herod, famed for his Massacre of the Innocents, is now the face of a self-development pyramid scheme. In this chaotic drag-clown fiasco, Judean subjects transform into modern clients in an interactive group therapy session. No stone shall be left unturned. Expect frivolity, shock and redemption in a show which asks: Who can we trust? What are eggs? Why are you crying?
