at Olivier Theatre, National

See the spiritual play Nation in London at the Olivier Theater! Tickets to Mark Ravenhill's version of Terry Pratchett's latest adventure available here!

A Parallel World, 1860. Two teenagers thrown together by a tsunami that has destroyed the Mau's village and left Daphne shipwrecked on his South Pacific island, thousands of miles from home. One wears next to nothing, the other a long white dress, neither speaks the other's language, they must somehow learn to survive. As starving refugees gather, Daphne delivers a baby, milks a pig, brews beer and does battle with a mutineer. Mau fights cannibal raiders, discovers the world is round and questions the reality of his tribe's fiercely patriarchal goods. Together they come of age, overseen by a foul-mouthed parrot, as they discard old doctrine to forge a new Nation.

Following His Dark Materials, Coram Boy and War Horse, the National stages Mark Ravenhill's exhilarating adaptation of Terry Pratchett's latest witty and challenging adventure story.

Suitable for 10 years +
