Lisa is about to embark on a mission. A mission that will take her into another world. A perilous, bizarre but alluring world: The Wonderful World of Dissocia.
It’s all because of an hour. A missing hour. Lost on the plane between New York and London. Ever since that trip Lisa’s life has been diabolical. Now she’s being given the opportunity to recover the hour and restore equilibrium to her life. All she has to do is make her way through Dissocia…
On the way she’ll meet a bumbling pair of (in)security guards, a (scape)goat with a penchant for committing horrible crimes, a council worker with a flying car loaded with bombs and a trashy hot dog vendor named Britney. But the trouble these guys cause is nothing compared with Lisa’s most terrifying adversary: the Black Dog King.
Exhilaration and frenetic adventuring aside, there is something very dark and very real lurking beneath this world. All is not as it seems.
This dazzling play by Anthony Neilson was commissioned by the Edinburgh International Festival and revived by the National Theatre of Scotland in 2007, delighting audiences and winning critical acclaim. We welcome back Marion Potts to direct what promises to be a boisterous and moving evening of theatre.
