Put on your headphones and join Boy and Girl as they journey through the joy, hope and heartbreak of looking for love.

This could’ve been yet another story of boy meets girl, just like the ones you’ve heard a hundred times before…except it’s not. This time it’s different. 

Colourfully created for public spaces, this walk about performance uses wireless headphones to take you right to the heart of the story. Hide with Girl as she plays hard to get, dance with Boy as he celebrates the first flourishes of love, or stand back listen to their innermost thoughts as their hearts are broken again. 

Boy Meets Girl is an exciting mix of physical theatre and silent disco technology that allows you to choose your own experience of the show. But will your choices effect how you see the story? After all, the path of true love never did run smooth.

Running Time: 60 Minutes (but feel free to stay as long as you like)

Made for 11+ but suitable for all ages | Promenade performance so wear comfortable shoes
