A parallel world, 1860. Two teenagers thrown together by a tsunami
that has destroyed Mau’s 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 other’s
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 tribe’s fiercely patriarchal
gods. Together they come of age, overseen by a foul-mouthed parrot, as
they discard old doctrine to forge a new Nation.
Following His Dark Materials, Coram Boy and War Horse, the National stages Mark Ravenhill’s exhilarating adaptation of Terry Pratchett’s Nation, his latest witty and challenging adventure story.
