Otherland

Otherland Synopsis

'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?

Chris Bush's play Otherland is a bold and beautiful exploration of what it means to be true to yourself in the face of unstoppable change. It premiered at the Almeida Theatre, London, in 2025, directed by Ann Yee.

Otherland was a finalist for the 2025 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize.
