Anthony Neilson's 2004 play is half a lark, half deadly serious TIME OUT

A profane, madcap, Alice-in-Wonderland trip morphs into something much more profound in Anthony Neilson’s weirdly compelling 2004 study of mental instability EVENING STANDARD

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.

This Student Edition of The Wonderful World of Dissocia, which premiered at the Edinburgh International Festival, features a commentary and notes by Anna Six. It introduces students to debates surrounding mental health and situates Neilson within a British theatrical tradition, including through an interview with him.
