Eleanor Glanville has an unusual passion: butterflies. She’s happiest in woods and meadows tracking flickering wings. But some are set ondestroying her work – and anyone who stands in the way.Based on the extraordinary real-life story of Eleanor Glanville (1654–1709) – one of the UK’s first female entomologists – Butterfly reimagines her life in the present day. Declared ‘deprived of her senses’ for daring to pursue butterflies, Eleanor’s legacy was successfullychallenged in court. We meet her on the brink of a discovery – the butterfly we now know as the Glanville fritillary, one of only two British butterflies to be named after the scientists who found them – amid a brewing crisis.Can Eleanor protect her butterfly – and her reputation?Today, the Glanville fritillary is vulnerable, surviving in only a handful of colonies – mainly in Hampshire. Come and experience a story of obsession, resilience and wonder specially written for Phoenix Arts and witness a true butterfly effect.

Boxed In

A quirky, thought-provoking exploration of the unspoken rules that shape our lives.Meet Derek and Jon, two friends trying to understand life’s strange instructions. When “stop” means “go”, “up” turns into “down” and no one explains why - what do you do? Everyone else seems to know the way, but what if you just don’t get it?Boxed In is a playful and thought-provoking journey about feeling left out, not because you’ve done something wrong, but because the world doesn’t always play fair. It’s a story for anyone who’s ever felt a bit confused, a bit left out, or a bit boxed in.Through movement, visual storytelling, humour and a touch of chaos, Boxed In explores the invisible rules of behaviour, the way people act and what others think you should do – and invites us all to imagine a world where everyone feels they belongA co-production by Daryl & Co. and Half Moon, Boxed In is an exciting collaboration between a ground-breaking Disabled-led theatre company and the UK’s leading small-scale young people’s venue and touring company.Boxed In is largely non-verbal. This makes it accessible to a wide range of people, including d/Deaf, hard of hearing, BSL users and non-English speakers. Accessible. Inclusive. Made for everyone.

The Tale of the Loneliest Whale

“I can hear someone out there. They’re singing to me.”Whale sings his heart out into the deep blue sea… but nobody sings back. Is he the only one like him in the whole ocean?Just when he’s about to give up, a mysterious voice echoes through the waves. Determined to find the singer, Whale embarks on an unforgettable adventure - diving through glowing coral caves, dodging wibbly jellyfish and facing wild-eyed sea monsters! But will he ever find a friend who hears his song?Join Hoglets Theatre for an exciting deep-sea adventure packed with beautiful puppets, hilarious sea creatures, original songs and lots of audience interaction! The Tale of the Loneliest Whale is a magical, interactive show that celebrates friendship, difference and the beauty of being yourself.At its heart, this is a story about neurodiversity, about how being different can be lonely, but also beautiful. The play was developed through workshops and conversations with children, including those with experience of autism, ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence. Their insights shaped everything from the characters, music and story structure to the sensory elements and pacing of the show.Suitable for ages 4+45 minutes, no intervalAt the end of the show, the audience is invited onto the stage to meet the puppets and have their photo taken.
