Otherland Plot

Harry is undeniably changing more than most. Change is beautiful, necessary and terrifying. Break-ups are not 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, and new possibilities. What kind of women do they want to be, do they have the courage or the permission to get there?
From Chris Bush, the playwright behind the Olivier-winning Standing at the Sky’s Edge, and director and choreographer Ann Yee (Next Normal; The Human Body), Otherland explores what it means to be true to yourself in the of unstoppable change.
