Arrivals and Departures

It is abundantly clear from the first second that Nathan Rodney-Jones’steps onstage, that he has a love of words, if you love words too, then this is the show for you.

Nathan’s lyrical and performative dexterity are impressive enough, but the images and emotions he conjures from colliding ideas, syntax and rythm are at times so intoxicating, I found myself completely caught up imagining one description, with just moments to spare before the next.

Nathan guides us on a journey home, along the way we are treated to an exploration of how the changing landscapes and locations enroute, mirror, intertwine and amplify the changes in the life of the passenger.

The vocal dexterity on display here can only be admired and with a completely bare stage, everything is created for you by Nathan’s words, there are a lot of them, but each one matters.

Buy a ticket, take a seat, go on this journey and see where it takes you.
