Reality and imagination collide in this bold new play, running for a limited time at the candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse in London.
A World Elsewhere is a bold new play that explores the shifting line between reality and imagination, made for anyone who loves fresh, thought-provoking drama. Staged by the team at Shakespeare's Globe, it brings together considered storytelling and the atmospheric, candlelit surroundings of the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. Book your A World Elsewhere tickets with tickadoo and step into a theatrical world all of its own.
Set in the candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, A World Elsewhere follows a group of people as they wrestle with questions of self, place and the unknown. As their stories weave together, the world we recognise blurs into the world we imagine, and the boundary between the two grows dangerously thin. It is a meditation on identity, belonging and the search for meaning, brought to life with evocative staging.
This is a limited-run production in one of London's most distinctive theatres. The intimate, candlelit interior of the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse gives every performance an immersive, close-up quality that suits character-driven new writing. It is an atmospheric setting you will not find anywhere else in the city.
