EDINBURGH PREVIEW

“Ever get the feeling you’re going round in one big circle? Ten years. Back and forth between a trio of arseholes and nothing to show for it except a baby, an Argos ring and a busted nose. At the refuge they call that a pattern.”

Moving, truthful and darkly comic, Box Clever by nabokov’s associate-playwright Monsay Whitney is a new play about one woman’s experience of a refuge and a Mother’s commitment to do the best for her daughter.

This brand new commission from award winning female-led company nabokov, reinvents the theatrical experience, combining live music and clowning, performed by Canterbury based Avi Simmons celebrating the diverse voices of this generation.

A nabokov and The Marlowe co-production, directed by Stef O Driscoll.
