“We make the fun for you. We do all the hard work. You can’t do it yourselves so we bring you this shining city of fun. We transport it, rig it, turn on a bit of light in your otherwise dark.”

Get ready for a rewind! Following the sell-out success of our Word:Play cycles, Box of Tricks’ Remix reimagines seven short plays with third-year actors at Rose Bruford Wigan.

Drawn from a back-catalogue of Box of Tricks’ hits, Remix is a night of fresh mixes of short plays for the next generation. Expect a remix of colliding worlds and clashing characters: holiday romances, suburban swinging, school day cigs, old stories with old friends, picnic shenanigans, funfair magic and nail salon dramas.

Turn up and tune in as Remix pumps up the volume with a killer playlist of short plays of revenge and revolution.
