A powerful and imaginative coming-of-age drama inspired by award-winning poet Joseph Coelho’s Overheard in a Tower Block. Step into the life of a young boy growing up in the heart of a bustling city tower block.
From the laughter of neighbours to whispered secrets and moments of quiet woe, this story invites you to listen to the rhythms of life in a world filled with challenges and surprises.
Through vivid, thought-provoking poetry brought to life on stage, Joseph Coelho’s words paint a poignant and relatable picture of growing up. With themes of family, friendship, courage and self-discovery, this is a story about finding your way in a world that doesn’t always make sense.

"Richly figurative, deeply emotional... Thrilling, phantasmagoric set and puppet design"
