Lisa Jones, a young woman, lapses into a psychotic state in which a Swiss watchmaker tells her she has lost an hour of her life. In order to retrieve it she must visit the world of Dissocia, a fantastical place full of characters who are absurd, comic, intimidating, sexually violent and even cute. Neilson's imaginative and challenging drama juxtaposes Lisa's adventures in Dissocia with the treatment she is receiving for her psychiatric illness. The play won the 2004-05 Critics' Award for Theatre in Scotland for Best New Play, and subsequently made its London debut at the Royal Court Theatre in March 2007. In December 2009 The List magazine included the work in its Best of a Decade compilation.
