The Wonderful World of Dissocia
Description
Lisa's been feeling a bit out of balance lately, so she's absolutely thrilled when the son of the Swiss watch-repair man shows up at her door and takes her to the land of Dissocia, which resembles an extra-lurid Lewis Carroll creation. All becomes clear after intermission, when Lisa wakes up in a sterile psychiatric hospital; the first act was an episode of a woman with mental illness. Darrell W. Cox's direction of this U.S. premiere can be overly frenetic in the first act, but Somer Benson's Lisa makes a terrific anchor, and the suffocating stillness of the second act chills.—KV
