SYNOPSIS
A woman wakes up on a London night bus and is provoked by a series of passengers; setting her on a bloody journey of self-discovery.
WHAT GOES ROUND is surreal re-imagining of the Medusa mythology; a playfully dark & twisted subversion of the narratives women and girls have been told about victims, monsters, shame and power.
