Wanderlust

Cabaret • Music

South Australia • Adelaide Fringe Premiere

A tale of travel, love and love of travel. A story of Schnitzel, Sauerkraut and Schicksal (fate). A series of sliding-door moments. With one decision, you could have a completely different life - but is the grass really greener on the other side of the world? This cabaret production draws music from the Great German Songbook and from all over the place. Featuring Shelley Dunstone (vocals) and Edward Heddle (piano).

Presented by: Shelley Dunstone

In her new show, 'Wanderlust', she ventures into the world of German music and claims her German heritage.
