The Wanderer is the story of Gregor Samsa, a fumbling, scruffy hero, who flees his parents' African hairdresser with his lover Betty. But tragedy, confusion and a motley set of characters await. Adapted from a translation of Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis, by artist Rory Macbeth (who doesn't read German), this lurid, sticky and mischievous plot shadows Gregor and Betty as they fall in and out of love.

Flicking from scripted deliveries and emotive locations to impromptu, droll exchanges The Wanderer hijacks Kafka, Macbeth and un-suspecting passers by, spitting them out a little worse for wear. The Wanderer skips in and out of time, tying and unraveling cinematic genres as it goes, before coming to a serene, snow filled close.
