The Dictionary Of Lost Words
Dunstan Playhouse, Adelaide
Fri Sep 22 – Sat Oct 14
In 1901, the word ‘bondmaid’ was discovered to be missing from the Oxford English Dictionary. The Dictionary of Lost Words is the story of the girl who stole it, and in time, more and more ‘missing words’ to create her own dictionary of ‘lost words’. South Australian novelist Pip Williams’ internationally bestselling book is set to come to life in this world premiere stage adaptation by South Australian playwright, Verity Laughton. The multi-award-winning book has been celebrated globally, chosen for the Reese Witherspoon Book Club, and even had the New York Times calling it “…a captivating and slyly subversive fictional paean to the real women whose work on the Oxford English Dictionary went largely unheralded.” Be the first to see live on stage what is sure to be a theatrical sensation; and before it next becomes a Netflix series. And all from the clever mind of a local South Australian novelist!
