The Wonderful World of Dissocia by Stephen Anthony Neilson
17 November, 7pm, Post Show Q&A
19 November, 7pm Captioned Performance
When Lisa takes an unexpected journey to a fantastical land, she finds herself in a world full of absurdity, wonder, and danger. Talking bears, surreal landscapes, and peculiar rules of logic greet her at every turn but underneath the whimsy lies a darker truth.
Stephen Anthony Neilson’s The Wonderful World of Dissocia is a bold, imaginative play that blends comedy, fantasy, and pathos to explore the realities of mental health. Both hilarious and heart breaking, it invites us to question the line between escape and confrontation, and what it means to lose, and find, yourself.
