Boxed In follows the journey of someone who can't make head nor tail of the unspoken rules that surround us all. Sometimes stop means go and go means stop. Are you to go this way or that? Sometimes it's up and sometimes it’s down.
In a world where everyone else seems to understand, it can all get a bit confusing. And when you get it wrong, you’re made to sit out, but you don’t understand why. It seems so unfair.
This heartfelt story is about being made to feel naughty, just because the rules don’t make sense.
Boxed in is a Daryl & Co and Half Moon co-production; an exciting collaboration by 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 range of people, including d/Deaf, hard of hearing and non-English speakers. We will be providing easy-read synopsis, audio description introduction and touch tours.
