A Daryl & Co.and Half Moon co-production for ages 3-6

A quirky, thought-provoking exploration of the unspoken rules that shape our lives.

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.
