South London Theatre presents: Wanderlust by Nick Payne

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  teenage 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. 

Painfully funny and brutally honest, Wanderlust peels back the curtain on modern relationships.
