Upcoming Show

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.

11am & 2pm Saturday 30th May
