LOCATION
A quirky, thought-provoking exploration of the unspoken rules that shape our lives.
Tickets: £6.00-£18.00
Meet Derek and Jon, two friends trying to understand life’s strange instructions. When “stop” means “go”, “up” turns into “down” and no one explains why - what do you do? Everyone else seems to know the way, but what if you just don’t get it?
Boxed In is a playful and thought-provoking journey about feeling left out, not because you’ve done something wrong, but because the world doesn’t always play fair. It’s a story for anyone who’s ever felt a bit confused, a bit left out, or a bit boxed in.
Through movement, visual storytelling, humour and a touch of chaos, Boxed In explores the invisible rules of behaviour, the way people act and what others think you should do – and invites us all to imagine a world where everyone feels they belong
A co-production by Daryl & Co. and Half Moon, Boxed In is an exciting collaboration between a ground-breaking Disabled-led theatre company and the UK’s leading small-scale young people’s venue and touring company.
Boxed In is largely non-verbal. This makes it accessible to a wide range of people, including d/Deaf, hard of hearing, BSL users and non-English speakers. Accessible. Inclusive. Made for everyone.
BOXED IN trailer
“Boxes, bubble wrap and bananas all add up to a fabulously fun show about rules and how they can be confusing… A cleverly considered piece of work that is full of laughter but also full of interesting questions” Everything Theatre
“This is a really funny, entertaining piece of work – also a wonderful experience of normalising disability for children and encouraging them to think about how others share their space. Plus, there are bananas! 🍌🍌” Audience member
“This is the best show we’ve seen in a long time! It was hilarious and touching at the same time. My little boy and I laughed a lot during the performance. Thank you for a morning well spent and for allowing us a glimpse into the world of people who experience the world differently and that we can all learn to live together in harmony if we try to understand each other.” Audience member
