What If is an eye opening theatre production for young people aged 14 - 16 highlighting the dangers of addiction in its many forms through entertaining and experimental performance and media.

Appealing to contemporary youth culture the show is fast and furious; fusing together a dynamic combination of styles that allow us to jump from one world into the next. A comedy sketch show, a film trailer, a scientific lecture, a music video, rock songs and hip hop, movement and clowning; What If breaks traditional approaches to Theatre in Education in its form and presentation.

What If has been created by Icelandic Theatre Company 540 Floors, with consultancy and dramaturgy from Time Won't Wait.

Created in at Hafnarfjardarleikhusid Theatre, Reykjavik, Iceland in August 2008, this work is being performed across Newham in East London in Autumn 2008.
