Family Theatre: Boxed In at Retford Library

Wednesday 14 February 2024 3.30pm to 4.15pm Retford Library £4.00 (concessionary: 7.00)

Who says a line should always be straight? What’s wrong with zig zags? Or how about curves?

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 supposed 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. 

A playful show about (mis)understanding the rules, for ages 3 – 6.

Programmed in association with The Spark Arts for Children

Part of our family theatre programme funded by National Portfolio Organisation Arts Council money.
