What’s the latest show by Players Theatre that everyone is talking about?
It has to be Something Else, of course!

Something Else… He’s a cute little creature who lives alone in a house, on a windy hill, in a town called ‘Here and There’. He tries to be like everyone else but he never quite fits in. Everything he does shows just how different he really is… Something Else doesn’t play the same games, eat the same food or draw the same pictures. Something Else is lonely. Then, one Christmas, a knock on the door brings an even stranger creature called ‘Something’ to the town of ‘Here and There’. Something is looking for a friend. Will Something Else play or will he turn Something away?

Something Else was adapted for the stage by Tall Stories UK, the creators of ‘The Gruffalo’. This magical adaptation of the award-winning picture book by Kathryn Cave and Chris Riddell was a sell-out hit in the UK and at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Something Else is a touching tale of fantastic friendship with inventive storytelling, upbeat songs and lots of laughs. It’s hilarious, heart-warming, marvellous, super-duper, it’s - it’s - it’s… Something Else!
