Following the success of its world première at Manchester’s 24:7 Theatre Festival, My Arms embarks on a tour of the North this January. Reuniting director Adam Quayle (Picture a City at Liverpool Everyman’s Everyword Festival) and playwright James Leach (an Associate Playwright on Bolton Octagon’s Incubate scheme), Box of Tricks brings this critically-acclaimed play to venues including Liverpool’s Lantern Theatre.

Told in reverse order, My Arms is a compelling new one-hour drama about a couple in crisis after a tragic event that changes their lives forever. The play is a fascinating examination of human relationships inspired by stories of the wives of men who go to prison. When Colin arrives home with fish and chips, will wife Helen be able to give him a second chance?
