wanderlust

Vamp is good at running from problems. They're even better at keeping a conversation running. As the evening wears on, it becomes apparent that whatever they are being chased by is catching up - and hard as they try, humor can't hide them anymore. wanderlust is a one-woman play that is a love letter to grief, neurodivergence, and the people we've run from.

  • Asher Wyndham: wanderlust

    A tour-de-force of a solo that demands the best actor. A linguistic extravaganza with a playful structure like a drag routine, with digressions, confessions, etymolology and backstory, and audience participation, all while pushing forward its subjects, mourning the loss of a loved one and depression. A compelling voice, grabs your attention like a joyride with a stranger, but you don't want to pull over. This better get produced or that'd be a f'ing travesty in American theatre.

    A brilliant literary monologue that has a lot to unpack about the nature of relationships, grief, and everything in between. It is a super fast read, and I cannot recommend it enough. I really hope to see this one in-person in the future.
