Helen Sant: A Storyteller Remembered

Join us for a very special event celebrating the work of the late Helen Sant (1970-2022) – writer, poet, storyteller and actor. Helen’s play, Boxes, will be performed alongside a collection of her other writing, read and performed by her friends. The bar will be open – come and raise a glass in memory of Helen, an extraordinarily creative person who will be sorely missed in York and beyond. Tickets are £5 and all profits will go to a cause Helen supported.

‘There’s something weird about not knowing what you’re packing. I want to take a peek so badly…’

Jack, Sandra, Pam and Neil are packing boxes. None of them can say it’s their dream job but the money’s suspiciously good and it’s only temporary so… why not? If only boss Marnie wasn’t such a tyrant. And weird. Seriously weird. As their long shift continues, secrets and strange goings-on soon threaten to engulf the team. Who can they really trust? And what exactly is in the boxes they’re packing?
