Title: Wanderings

Presented By: The Nest Ensemble

Synopsis: Stella keeps losing things: her books, her car, her daughter. To help her remember, she writes post-it notes, yet everything continues to wander away. As her son, Kidd, helps transition her from their family home into aged care, they unpack a lifetime of stories. "Wanderings" is an intimate exploration of the changing dynamics between a mother living with dementia and her transgender son. As they navigate their intertwined memories and identities, this play delves into the challenges and heart-opening opportunities that come with shifting family roles and the importance of connection amidst the process of transition.
