A World Elsewhere

About A World Elsewhere

A World Elsewhere at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse follows Cass, a boy with a heart bursting with stories, as he escapes into the greatest world of all: the imagination. Inspired by his Grandma’s love of Shakespeare, Cass and his faithful band of imaginary friends have met heroes, faced villains, outwitted monsters, survived shipwrecks, and dived into adventures of every kind.

When the stories stop feeling as exciting and a strange darkness starts to creep in, Cass’s elsewhere-world begins to change. The Olivier-nominated team behind Rough Magic and Midsummer Mechanicals return with a production built around storytelling, with music, laughter, friendship and imagination at its centre.

Funny, moving and inventively told, the show invites audiences to follow Cass through a changing world of adventure and asks what needs to happen next. It is a family-focused piece that brings together fantasy, Shakespeare-inspired storytelling and a journey through the worlds waiting to be told.

Key facts: Running time 1 hour 30 minutes.
