A World Elsewhere
Sam Wanamaker Playhouse
If you're after something that actually trusts kids to think, A World Elsewhere is worth a trip. It's about a boy living in stories - Shakespeare tales his Gran read him - until things get confused and he's lost in a darker version of them. Made by the people behind Rough Magic, it works because it's built on a real idea: what stories actually do.
Runs at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse this summer. Pitched at ages 5 to 105, and that's not marketing speak - the show just has layers. Inventive staging, and the venue is intimate but spacious enough for the theatrical thinking to land. South Bank location means you can make it part of a bigger afternoon out.
