Everyone has a story to tell and writing down ones experience may be akin to turning the pages of a book or unpacking a box of memories. 

Thinking over and over about the way of living may lead one astray. BOOKS AND BOXES is about a young writer wanting to record his life experiences and searching for a part of himself to complete his life story. 

Why can’t we be honest to ourselves? What makes life? People, emotions… how do we make sense of our lived experience?

 How does a writer record his life?

Audience Responses

I really enjoyed the production. At some stage,I felt like I was watching myself! The writer did an amazing job. Can't wait to see what else he has in store for future productions.

Beautifully written and performed play. Had us glued to the stage from beginning to end. The music was also very well thought out and blended in perfectly. Had a wonderful moment or two of laughter and moments where chills ran down my spine. I would definitely love to watch it again. Saturday night well spent.
