PRODUCED originally by and launched in the Drum Theatre, Plymouth for the 2004 Edinburgh International Festival, The Wonderful World of Dissocia wowed critics and audiences alike. This is a hugely original play, both magical and moving, that confirmed Anthony Neilson as one of the major voices in contemporary British Theatre. The entire original cast and creative team have been reunited for this keenly anticipated revival which returns to Plymouth, this time on the Theatre Royal stage, from Tuesday April 24 to Saturday April 28. Lisa Jones is on a journey. It's a colourful and exciting off-kilter trip in search of one lost hour that has tipped the balance of her life. The inhabitants of the wonderful world she finds herself in — Dissocia — are a curious blend of the funny, the friendly and the brutal. As Neilson himself put it: 'If you like Alice in Wonderland but there's not enough sex and violence in it, then Dissocia is the show for you'. The Wonderful World of Dissocia cleaned up at the Critics' Awards for Theatre in Scotland, winning five Critics Awards for Theatre in Scotland in the best female performance, best direction, best new play, best design and best theatre production categories. 'It is both a subtle meditation on the nature of mental illness and desperately, movingly sad' — The Guardian.
