The story

Cass is eleven and uses his imagination to escape when everyday life becomes hard. His adventures are inspired by the Shakespeare stories his Gran loves, but lately the tales are not flowing as they used to. Cass needs help to get them moving again, turning his private imaginative refuge into something that depends on other people joining in.

In the room
