Wanderlust

By Nick Payne

Date: 7 - 11 Apr 2026

Time: 20:00 - 22:00

Location: SLT Fire Station

Painfully funny and brutally honest, Wanderlust peels back the curtain on modern relationships - exposing the messy, uncomfortable truths we rarely say out loud. Nick Payne's provocative comedy asks whether good intentions are enough, and what we're really willing to sacrifice for the people we love.

When was the last time you really talked about what you need? Joy and Alan have been married for approaching 25 years, but the spark has gone out. Joy's lost interest in sex. Alan hasn't. Their silence around the subject is deafening. Meanwhile, their fifteen-year-old son Tim is navigating his own anxieties about intimacy with excruciating awkwardness. And Alan's young colleague Clare is questioning whether she wants the conventional life that's expected of her.

Fearless, funny, and deeply human, Wanderlust will make you laugh, squirm, and think twice about everything you thought you knew about intimacy.
