←Recommendations of Boxed In

I would 100% recommend this play because of how honest it is. We can see the real life, day to day of this particular relationship. We don’t often see an older brother taking so much responsibility, especially at 18 years old.

What a splendid play. I love what both of these brothers, and the conflicts they go through. Both are so fleshed out and their problems so real, yet the play is so funny and charming too. Definitely the kind of play that was written by thinking outside the box.

I love this play! Masterfully tells the story of the complicated sibling relationship. Being told in six scenes was such a cool way to keep the reader hooked. Couldn't recommend this play more!

These characters are so interesting and multi-dimensional! I love how naturally their relationship breaks and mends as siblings tend to do. This play is so raw and touching, and was so wonderful to read!

This is such a beautiful play! The relationship between these two brothers is so touching and nuanced. The two characters are both flawed but so likable and understandable. I felt my self rooting for both of them even when they were against each other. The story of how defeating it can seem to want a life of creativity while having to be realistic is very poignant.

I really enjoyed this play! I thought it handles some deeper topics very well and had some really fun moments. I loved the box imagery with the pantomime!

This script is a treat! The characters are so different, yet equally lovable. I wanted to reach through the page and give them both a hug. I laughed, I cried, I re-read. Now I'm gonna go do that last one again.

Such a sweet story, it was fascinating to see how both characters interacted with each other. Loved the idea of the older sibling taking on the role of parent. Jerry takes on the role of Tyler’s parent without choosing causing tension, whereas Tyler tries to take on this role of a realistic/responsible person when in the end they both just need to be themselves. Similarly, I also see this idea of allowing people to have space and time. This is clear when we see Jerry ‘step back’ in the end allowing Tyler to not feel so ‘Boxed In'.

I think that Harris does an excellent job at portraying a family unit that has gone through a lot but still finds love for each other, and for that reason I would recommend this play.

A beautiful play about a very unusual sibling relationship. The mime imagery throughout is equally heartbreaking and hilarious. The gay representation in this piece makes my heart soar. I wish I could have read this play when I was 17.
