In an enchanting setting within the Adelaide Botanic Gardens, the Slingsby Theatre Company unveils the 'Wandering Hall of Possibility', a circular wooden venue that comfortably seats 110 audience members. This new theatre is home to their final production, 'A Concise Compendium of Wonder', which consists of a trilogy of performances inspired by the timeless tales of the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen, and Oscar Wilde. Each performance offers a distinct narrative experience, yet they are intertwined thematically, transporting viewers through various realms, from medieval Europe to a futuristic moon colony.

The trilogy can be enjoyed as individual stories or experienced as a cohesive work, with the same three actors skillfully navigating the diverse settings and characters. The transformation of the theatre space for each performance adds an immersive element, further enhancing the audience’s engagement with the magical narratives. Slingsby’s commitment to crafting meaningful theatrical experiences for young audiences has garnered much acclaim, representing a significant contribution to the Australian arts landscape.

As the company prepares to bid farewell, this production embodies their ethos of creativity and exploration, highlighting the importance of storytelling in both personal and shared contexts. The innovative approach and breathtaking visuals of 'A Concise Compendium of Wonder' serve not only as a fitting conclusion to Slingsby’s journey but also a celebration of the lasting impact theatre can have in illuminating the world of possibility for its audiences.
