About this event

Don’t miss our ‘imaginative, heartfelt and utterly captivating’ ★★★★★ ( Broadway World ) new family show before the summer holidays end. This new adventure for everyone aged 5 – 105 is ‘deliriously funny’ ★★★★ ( The Stage ) and full of ‘gleeful playfulness’ ★★★★ ( The Guardian ). When 11-year-old Cass finds real life tricky, he escapes into his imagination. There, he dreams up wild and wonderful adventures inspired by his Gran’s beloved tales from Shakespeare. But the stories aren’t flowing like they used to… and Cass will need your help to put it right! Bring all the family together for this ‘energetically interactive, silly, superbly performed’ ★★★★ ( Everything Theatre ) celebration of storytelling, created by an Olivier Award-nominated team. “There is a world elsewhere” – William Shakespeare. (And Gran.) A co-production with Splendid Productions, A World Elsewhere is recommended for everyone from age 5 to 105. This production contains flashing lights.
