  "The ever adventurous IOU company’s new show is visually audacious.   It is concerned with moods and impressions and its humour is curiously edged.  Waylaid is an emotional journey, a piecing together of memory and hope and myth. Recommended to anyone who has tired of predictable theatre."   The Stage national newspaper

A woman awakes to find herself frozen and tethered in a snow-covered desert. The only evidence of how she came to be here is a wrecked car. As she gathers her thoughts, the inhabitants of this wilderness emerge and dissolve in the whiteness - alarming and engaging, propelling her forward and hemming her in.

Cocooned within an igloo-like dome and equipped with your own personal stereo, you join the woman on her journey as she attempts to make an escape. Funny, disturbing and moving, Waylaid transports you to a starkly optimistic inner world.

You will be seated in a large dome erected outdoors. Please dress for the outdoor climate.
