The Matchwood Circus is one of the thirty-two best circuses in Southern England, but they can’t afford to rest on their laurels. They manage to recruit a new act — a brutal strongman who is assisted by a poor helper. She is befriended by the tightrope walker, and there, ladies and gentlemen, the trouble begins.

The play Anyroad is inspired by the film La Strada, which was made in 1954 by Frederico Fellini.
