The Wonderful World of Dissocia

Life’s full of clatter, but none of it matters, only who’ll hold your paw when you die. What would you do if you lost an hour from your day? How far would you go to rescue what you’ve lost?In search of a lost hour that has tipped the balance of her life, Lisa Jones is on a quest through a surreal world, filled with insecurity guards, flying cars, singing polar bears and wild-goose chases. The inhabitants of Dissocia are a curious blend of the funny, the friendly and the downright brutal. Anthony Neilson’s cult play is a poignant and comical delve into the nature of mental illness. This edition was published to coincide with the major London revival at Theatre Royal Stratford East in September 2022.
