Gothenburg English Studio Theatre, in an international collaboration, is thrilled to present the world premiere of HANDLE WITH CARE by Ontroerend Goed

A truly unique theatre experience — with collaborating theatres in over 20 countries performing simultaneously around the world!

“There are no
strangers here;
only friends you
haven’t yet met.” — William Butler Yeats

Handle with Care is theatre stripped down to its
essence. No actors, no technicians. Just a box. And
you.
A box is placed at the centre of the stage.
The audience is waiting.
And then an audience member stands up and opens the box.
The show has started.
In Handle with Care, you create something special: a shared experience filled with reflections on time, transience, and togetherness.
For one hour, you’ll live something unique, fleeting, and unrepeatable.
Here. Now. Together. No one is watching. What is yours, stays yours. Take good care of it. And send us a postcard.
Only four performances, only 45 tickets per performance.
Closest tram stop: Chapmans torg.
Latecomers unfortunately can’t be admitted due to the layout of the theatre.
