The Childhood of the World


  • The Wandering Hall of Possibility - Waterside Workers Hall 11 Nile Street Port Adelaide, SA, 5015 Australia (map)

Take the last step in an epic creative journey with

Slingsby’s triptych A Concise Compendium of Wonder.

The final instalment in the triptych, The Childhood of the World by South Australian author Jennifer Mills, follows two siblings cast out into a forest filled with danger and possibility. Set amid a great famine, they must learn to use the wisdom found in their natural surroundings to survive the journey home.

This development season not only offers students a unique opportunity to follow the creation of this work-in-progress but also to see how the worlds of each production interweave, building towards the premiere of the completed triptych in 2026. As an exclusive first, students will step inside The Wandering Hall of Possibility - a custom-built portable wooden meeting house - and be fully immersed in a 360º theatre experience.
