Untitled Box Play: WIP

A short play about love and other horrors.

Think outside the box. Vessel of her womb. Coffin. Cooking pot. Pigeonholed. Pandora's box.

Stella's life isn't where she thought it would be. Work is shit, money is shit, the flat is shit – but Casper seems nice, and she would like, if possible, to have one normal date.

The problem isn't her. It's Traalkug. The rude and unwanted eldritch horror that lives in a box she isn't able to put down.

Using puppetry, absurdism, and the long history of putting women into boxes, Untitled Box Play explores what we pack away in order to move through the world; in order to love and be loved.

Untitled Box Play formed part of the work-in-progress lineup at Deadweight Theatre’s Side/Step Festival in February 2025.
