Event
NTLive presents Terry Pratchett's NATION
Sunday, February 21 at 2pm
$20 Members â $25 Public
Live music, thrilling dance and spectacular puppets combine to bring to life the
spectacular and surprising world of Terry Pratchett's Nation on the National
Theatre stage in London - and the Cinema Arts Centre. A parallel world, 1860. Two
teenagers thrown together by a tsunami that has destroyed Mauâs 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 otherâs language;
somehow they must 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 tribeâs
fiercely patriarchal gods. Together they come of age, overseen by a foul-mouthed
parrot, as they discard old doctrine to forge a new Nation.
