Wonderful World of DISSOCIA
21 September 2022 @ 5:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Written By: Anthony Neilson
Creative Team: Directed by Thomas Filsell
The Wonderful World of Dissocia is an off-the-wall, at times hilarious, at times disturbing, ultimately profoundly thought-provoking play, featuring vivid, unique and unforgettable characters, and wondrous settings which contrast to a degree rarely seen in the theatre. Aside from being laugh-out-loud funny, the play also has an important message to convey regarding mental health.
Dissocia tells the story of Lisa, a young woman battling with a dissociative disorder. In order to regain ‘balance’ in her life, Lisa must successfully navigate her way through Dissocia, a fantastic wonderland full of surprises and weird, wonderful, and frightening inhabitants.
Away from Dissocia, life is very different. In Dissocia, Lisa is the decider of her own fate. Back at home, she’s not.
This is a riotous, wonderful, wild-ride of a play. As playwright Anthony Neilson said, “If you like Alice in Wonderland but there’s not enough sex and violence in it, then Dissocia is the show for you.”
Age is not a big factor for casting, but there are adult themes, including violence, implied off-stage sexual assault, and use of ‘adult’ language, so audiences and auditionees are advised to consider these potentially disturbing contents before attending auditions or performances.
