LEFT LUGGAGE
written and performed by Gemma Alldred

 @ Sat 3:15 – The Little Long House (30mins)

“A girl in a black dress gets on a train…..”

Left luggage is a tale of loss and remembrance. This story folds narrative, autobiography and testimony into a journey that we all know, a journey we all take, and sometimes fear that we will have to take again and again.

A beautiful and moving poem about what it is to be human.
