What Families Thought About A World Beneath Us: An At Home Sensory Show
About A World Beneath Us
In Summer 2024, we sent our At Home show, A World Beneath Us, to 50 families across the UK. Inspired by our collaboration with Polyglot Theatre (AUS) on When the World Turns, this interactive show created an immersive world right in each family’s living room.
What families thought
How does it feel receiving theatre through the post? What’s it like when sensory experiences transform such familiar surroundings? We’re excited to share what families had to say about this At Home show:
“A World Beneath Us was amazing… My daughter was so happy and proud and excited for me to share her experience. It was wonderful and very very special.”
“It was wonderful to have something that was so engaging not only for her but also for the rest of the family and lovely to be able to enjoy it together.”
“It was like Christmas receiving your box of wonderful goodies – and a gift that will keep on giving.”
“Honestly one of the best experiences”
“Wow, how amazing and well thought out. Thank you to all involved for giving us this opportunity to explore the theatre in a sensory way and a relaxed environment, was fantastic and well received by my daughter”
“I’m just stunned at how amazing the whole show is, very well presented and I can see how much thought has gone into making the show as accessible to all as is possible, I’m very grateful to all”
“It’s a lovely resource to keep and return to taking on a different experience each time.”
“Was great to have the box over the holidays to use and experience. We enjoyed the whole experience from lifting out all objects from the box to seeing the finished product.”
[My child] was at times mesmerized by it and other times shrieking away with joy. It was great that she got to enjoy it together with her sister too.
“This was a really fun and exciting experience for us.”
“absolutely magical”
“the care and details that have gone into it are amazing”
“It has opened up a world to explore both inside and outside when we are able to access it. The forest is an incredible place and we can now appreciate it on a different level.”
“Another calming experience as though we were transported into another world”
“the quality of the components and the thought that went into creating are just amazing”
“excellent, well thought out and put together experience which my son enjoyed.”
