Martin Dockery: Wanderlust

In this multi-award-winning, true odyssey, Dockery treks from a dead-end job in New York to a dead-end road in Timbuktu, on an ever-more-desperate search for meaning. Negotiating the giddiness, terror, & absurdities in travel & love, he’s searching for an Epiphany. Any Epiphany at all. After 16 years, Martin Dockery brings his wildly hilarious & true existential storytelling adventure back to Rogue.
