Shakespeare’s Globe has announced the cast and creative team behind A World Elsewhere, coming to the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse later this summer. This family friendly show is inspired by tales from the Bard himself.
A World Elsewhere is a new show from the creative team behind Rough Magic, another collaboration with The Globe that was nominated for Best Family Show at the 2025 Olivier Awards. Directed by Lucy Cuthbertson and co-written by Splendid Production’s Kerry Frampton and Ben Hales, the show follows young Cass, who takes refuge in his imagination when things get a little too complicated.
Kyle Ndukuba leads the cast as Cass, alongside Kerry Frampton, Mitchell Dos Santos, Tanvi Virmani and Zachary Willis.
