2011
A MAN AND A WOMAN MEET IN A BOX
A patient undergoes testing. Britain heads for dystopia.

WHAT DID AUDIENCES SAY?
“An unsettling critique of the increasingly illiberal society we found ourselves in...surrounding the audience with walls of newspaper headlines including the final News of the Screws. They might be watching you, we feel, they might be listening, wherever you are. A thought-provoking piece with well-defined characters and committed performances from the cast.” - Large Manchester
“The script was so good, that I was kept on the edge of my seat. The story cleverly unfolded like a murder mystery.” - Audience member
“The Box is a dystopian examination of the fight between control and freedom of the mind. As a piece of writing it is a revelation. Utterly gripping.” - Ed Fringe Review
