The Wonderful
World of Dissocia
By Anthony Neilson
Directed by Jamie Garven
By turns delightful and dark,
this landmark play was a
success when it was created
for the Edinburgh International
Festival in 2004. It has
become a cult favourite.
Lisa Jones journeys to a
wonderful world of fantastic
possibilities - Dissocia.
She meets some surprising
characters - not all of
them human.
‘If you like Alice in Wonderland
but there’s not enough sex
and violence in it, then
Dissocia is the show for you.’
Anthony Neilson
Anthony Neilson trained at the
Royal Welsh College and has
gone on to considerable
success as a writer and
director with The Royal Court,
RSC and the National Theatre
of Scotland.

Welsh Language Collaboration
By Dafydd James
Director Mared Swain
When Sara returns home
after five years of silence
announcing judgment day, her
Mother, Ethni, is determined to
host the last supper. But whilst
Sara expects the end of the
world, her twin, Catrin, is
expecting a baby; little Mabli
wants to be a nun and Dadi’s in
the ice cream carton in the
study. As the farm falls to
pieces around them and the
rapture approaches, the family
must confront the grief that has
torn them apart, and through
facing the end, begin to live
once again.
