More Images, Excerpts, Inspiration and Reviews From "WANDERLUST"
"I realized that the myriad discoveries one might make on a ramble are being replaced by the determinate, by speed. "I know that our technologies save time, and I use them myself - a truck, a computer, a cell phone - but I fear their false urgency, their call to speed, their insistence that travel is less important than arrival. I like walking BECAUSE it is slow, and I suspect that the mind, like the feet, works at about three miles an hour. If this is so, then modern life is moving faster than the speed of thought. Or thoughtfulness."

And some reviews:
Power Walking Take your brain for a heady promenade at CPT's Wanderlust (She said, "Kevin Charnas drills his take on a sassy curbside whore." I'm pretty sure I can die now.)
Don't pass by inventive 'Wanderlust' at Cleveland Public Theatre (And he said, "in these inventive hands," - he's talking about Matthew Earnest -"it's a nonstop, highly choreographed dance-theater piece in which an indefatigable ensemble of seven walks this way, talks this way on a set (by Earnest and Curtis Young) consisting of a stage of dirt and a wall-size chalkboard on which history is writ." - He said we were "indefatigable", bishes... Dang. I didn't think NOBODY could be hearin' our farts out in the audience while we be runnin' around! Sshhiiittt...)
‘Wanderlust’ at CPT is a total immersion experience (She said, "Charnas is riotous as a gay hooker in high heels soliciting clients." - Okay, so I'm "gay", yes. And I played a "hooker", yes. But, I really wasn't suppose to be both at the same time. I'll have to work on that...
