Summary
If you don't know where you're going, chances are, all things being equal, you won't know where you've already been. This is certainly the case for the Man at the centre of Joana Craveiro's elliptical little play, devised with and performed by Portugal's Teatro do Vestido company on this whistlestop tour in conjunction with friends from nearer home.
