Through movement, visual storytelling and gentle humour, Boxed In explores the hidden rules of behaviour and unspoken attitudes – inviting us all to imagine a world where everyone belongs, in this brilliantly accessible theatre production.
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?
Join us 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 fit. This is a story for anyone who’s ever felt a bit confused, a bit left out, or a bit boxed in.
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.
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.
11am performance is a Relaxed Performance.
