“Uplifting and profoundly enlightening”
The Stage

Jo and Harry are changing.
Harry is changing more than most, undeniably,
And change is beautiful. Necessary. Terrifying.

Break-ups aren’t just about who gets the CD collection. As Jo and Harry begin to untangle themselves from each other, new worlds start to open up – worlds filled with new partners, new identities, new possibilities. What kind of women do they want to be, and do they have the courage, or the permission, to get there?

From Chris Bush, the playwright behind the Olivier Award-winning Standing at the Sky’s Edge, Ann Yee (Next to Normal) directs Jade Anouka (His Dark Materials) and Fizz Sinclair (The Simple Life & Death) in Otherland, a new play exploring what it means to be true to yourself in the face of unstoppable change.

Running Time Approx. 2 hours & 30 mins incl. an interval.
Subject to change during previews.

Evenings 7.30pm
Matinees 2pm
