All Wrapped Up

Accessible Family

"a gift of a multi-sensory show... A true box of delights."

Lyn Gardner, Stagedoor

All Wrapped Up was the company’s first accessible family show. Following a Winter run at artsdepot in 2019, All Wrapped Up embarked on a UK tour in early 2020.

About All Wrapped Up

Unwrap a world of imagination with Oily Cart’s mischievous, wintery show for under fives. Magical characters, hilarious creatures and hidden lands are brought to life through light, shadow and music. Join us as we uncover the sensory stories hidden in scrunched up paper, and create your own after the show.

All Wrapped Up welcomes young children and their families into an inclusive, accessible environment, designed specifically for under fives. Audience members should feel comfortable making noise and moving around as and when they need to.

Behind the Scenes

Hear from Lee Phillips about his experience of devising and performing in All Wrapped Up.

A child stares up at coloured circles on a shadown curtain. Behind the curtain, a performer is just visible holding torches.

A young audience member wraps their arms around a performer as they both look inside a glowing box.

In the foreground, a performer shines a light onto material he is holding a loft. Behind him is the rest of the playing space and the audience.

Audience members using their hands to make their own shadow puppets.

A 'DJ' in a DJ booth. She is wearing sunglasses and a gold bubblewrap jacket. Above her, bubble wrap hangs down, and scrunched up paper surrounds the booth. She is holding a torch above boxes which are lighting up.

A young audience member smiling as he pushes a large glowing ball of bubble wrap.

A performer kneeling on the ground, holding a dragon puppet.

A young audience member in a blue and white striped shirt looks up smiling as performers waft white material over his head.

A mum and children smile as they make their own shadows, gathered around a light box.

The audience sit on the floor on the left. They watch a performer with a ball of scrunched up paper on their head, tap the shoulder of a performer with a cardboard box on their head.

Young audience members, joined by a performer, stick scraps of paper to strings of sellotape hanging overhead.

Shadow silhouette of a child behind textured material. They are wearing something that means their outstretched arms look like wings.

"it all comes together with a special kind of magic"

British Theatre Guide

"a perfect show"

The Young Londoner

"a wonderful multi-sensory experience"

Angels and Urchins

"The infectious joy of discovery emanates from the performers and the audience, and it’s impossible not to smile."

The Play's The Thing

"My daughter has talked of nothing else. It was pure magic, sensitive and deep and beautiful. You guys create the most dreamy worlds - always so hard to come back to reality after them!"
