The breakout Australian hit play The Dictionary of Lost Words, based on Pip Williams’ award-winning novel of the same name, will be performed in Brisbane at QPAC.
It’s 1886 and the very first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary is being compiled. Four-year-old Esme Nicoll has a front-row seat. Well, she’s hiding under the sorting table, anyway. As her father and his male colleagues decide which words stay and which go, Esme collects the discarded scraps to compile her own far more magical dictionary.
A sweeping historical tale, The Dictionary of Lost Words follows Esme from her childhood in the 1880s, into adulthood at the height of the women’s suffrage movement and the beginning of the First World War. 2 hours 45 minutes incl. interval.
*The Dictionary of Lost Words Warning: This production contains strong coarse language and adult themes. A smoke machine is used during the performance Age Recommendation: Recommended for ages 16+
