Asking, Talking, Listening?
Asking. Talking. Listening?
‘I asked about her work, her band, her boyfriend and that dodgy knee she talked about the last time we met.’
‘I told her about work, the band, you and she remembered about my dodgy knee. We had a good chat.’
‘And what’s she been doing?’
‘Oh! She didn’t say.’

Tales from The Wasteland is, in their words, “an improvised post-apocalyptic adventure comedy”. Inspired by the likes of The Last of Us and Fallout, the twisted cast of raiders and mutants craft an absurd plot, inspired by a prompt picked by random and provided by an audience member. The show can go literally anywhere, as there is no pre-prepared characters or plot. Everything is, as you’d expect with improv, made up then and there.
Walk past the Bristol Harbourside during sunset on a beautiful day, and I dare you - quite literally dare you - not to be enticed by the sight of The Olive Shed, basking in the evening golden glow. It’s a sight to behold; outdoor tables laden with mouth -watering tapas and wine glinting in the evening sun, right next to the old train tracks and people relaxing next to the water. It feels like being transported to a European destination - which is really no surprise given that was Anastasia’s goal all along.
