O, Island! Av Nina Segal

<p><i>You do not feel pain. You do not feel hunger. Now get out there and dance as though you love this island.</i><br><br>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.<br><br>As the residents embrace their independence, a new leader rises and a shared identity emerges – but at what cost?<br><br>Shortlisted for the George Devine Award 2020, Nina Segal’s <i>O, Island!</i> is a funny and furious modern myth about disaster and community, exploring how borders can be changed by people, by nature and by accident.<br><br>This edition is published to coincide with the world premiere at The Other Place by the RSC, in September, 2022.</p>
