About the role A highly sensitive and observant man who seems to notice things before others do. The Tourist has left hearth and home to travel to a small coastal town in Sicily; not on business, nor for pleasure, but pulled by an inexplicable force of intuition. As he’s pulled deeper into the unknown, his failure to explain his feelings not only becomes a threat to his relationship, but begins to tear at the image he had of himself, as he’s consumed by a conflicting struggle to find an answer to the question of his own behaviour. What led him to disappear?
