A World Elsewhere
Sam Wanamaker Playhouse
This is about a boy who hides in imagination. Real life is tricky, so he retreats into Shakespeare stories his Gran read him, journeys where he can be anyone, do anything. But the worlds start to tangle. The adventures lose shape. A darkness creeps in. And suddenly he's stuck somewhere between Hamlet and pure shadow, trying to work out which story he's actually in.
At the Sam Wanamaker, it becomes a puzzle to watch unfold. The trick is that it doesn't treat kids like they need simplification. It trusts them (and their parents) to follow Shakespeare as a place where anything can flip. There's real feeling underneath the invention too.
