Full Description
You do not feel pain. You do not feel hunger. Now get out there and dance as though you love this island.
When a river breaks its banks one night resulting in a massive flood, one medium-sized village (or very very very small town) finds itself completely cut off — unexpectedly an island.
As the residents embrace their independence, a new leader rises and a shared identity emerges - but at what cost?
Shortlisted for the George Devine Award 2020, Nina Segal's O, Island! is a funny and furious modern myth about disaster and community, exploring how borders can be changed by people, by nature and by accident.
This edition is published to coincide with the world premiere at The Other Place by the RSC, in September, 2022.
