Wonderlust- The Gramophones Theatre Company Review

Devised by all female group The Gramophones Theatre Company, Wanderlust looks at the spirit and uplifting nature of travelling and exploring through the story of a young girl who is freed by her desire to see the world around her.

Through the incredibly imaginative storytelling, musical interludes and self made sound effects, the cast take you with them through forests, over rocks and into the stars as a lost girl wanders through different people's lives and inhabits herself within them.
