Lost for Words: Travellers

Moses is growing up on a remote Island; he's a middle aged supermarket worker; a teenage new wave fan; he's lost the puffins; he's on the pull; his wife is missing; his son won't speak to him. Moses is dying, he is thinking about his life, his abusive father, his distanced son, his lost wife - he is imagining his funeral.

Travellers uses a mix of monologue and poetry to convey the fractured memories of a man's life using only the words he gives others in speeches, conversations, voice messages, letters and poems. It is a piece exploring the many roles we play during our life, and how a character's many changing voices create the personas they display to others, charting the loves, losses and indifferences of their life.

Travellers is Nathan Rodney-Jones' - 'lost for words' - second show at the Fringe. He is a writer and performer working between Devon and Norwich, where he studies Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia.
