Too Many Walls
by Daryl and Co.
Physical Theatre
Too Many Walls is a fun, non-verbal show created by Daryl & Co and Ria Ashcroft.
It follows two playful characters who share a space but are divided by a big wall. As the story unfolds, they explore identity, conflict, and how understanding can slowly break down barriers. Performed in the round, what you see depends on where you sit—everyone’s experience will be a little different! Between shows, the space becomes a creative play zone for families to build and play. During R&D, we’ll explore big ideas like inclusion, exclusion, and connection—all through movement, metaphor and a BIG Wall.
“This show gets you right in the feels, makes you laugh out loud and then surprises you with some original and exciting tricks… it’s a rollercoaster!”
