Book a club-class ticket for the journey of a life-time!
First-class travel with the most jetlagged clown performer in the universe!
You will be sent by train, plane and brain
by bus and fuss
by fax, e-mail, snail-mail and sea-mail
to Sydney, Rio, Stoke Newington...
Neimegen , Taormina, San Paolo, Brixton...
Llanfairpwllgyngyllgogeryllantisiliogogogoch.....
Pack lightly to go beyond Contempt, above Reproach, under The Weather and
over The Moon
to The Back of Beyond!

A startling, magical show about journeys [all classes] starring Angela de Castro.

"in my next life
I want to be a tree...
It doesn't go anywhere
it just stands still!"
