LAND WITHOUT DREAMS | LANDET UDEN DRØMME

This is a play about hope.

A woman walks on to the stage. She says she is from the future. She says we can change everything.

But we know plays don’t change the world... Right?

Temi Wilkey (Years and Years) stars in the UK premiere of Land Without Dreams, a hopeful, funny and empowering new show.

'It's probably the play everyone could do with seeing right now' (Time Out)

Created by experimental Copenhagen-based theatre company Fix&Foxy. Their previous works include radical versions of Pretty Woman, Twin Peaks, and Friends. Discover Fix&Foxy's previous work - read the blog.
