Boxes: Three Stories

14 Mar 2025

Unity Theatre

After a successful tour in the North East, Charlie Prothero’s short play “Boxing” comes home to the river Mersey accompanied by two others: “Shallow End” and “Checked Out”. Three short stories told back to back, set in three different boxes: a changing room, a travelodge, a confession booth. Funny, moving, unexpected and quintessentially Scouse- these are stories about the small boxes we make for ourselves each day, and our attempts to stay in them.

A comedy anthology for fans of Inside No. 9 and Mike Leigh. Laughter, tears, smiles, Travelodges, priests, relationships, swimming pools, good grief, pop music and love… it’s all in our Boxes.
