Summary: "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. Produced originally for the 2004 Edinburgh International Festival, The Wonderful World of Dissocia wowed critics and audiences alike. As Neilson himself put it, 'If you like Alice in Wonderland but there's not enough sex and violence in it, then Dissocia is the show for you'. This Student Edition features a new introduction and notes by Anna Harpin. It introduces students to debates surrounding mental health and situates Neilson within a British theatrical tradition. It also includes an interview with the playwright"-- Provided by publisher.
