The King of Broken Things

In The King of Broken Things, audiences are invited on a magical and deeply moving journey into the art of mending - of objects, hearts, and hopes. Told through the eyes of a child wise beyond his years, this award-winning production from Theatresmiths explores the beauty in brokenness and the quiet power of restoration.

Drawing on ancient Japanese philosophies, myth, and dream logic, The King of Broken Things weaves a poignant tale that reminds us of the impact of our actions, our words, and our ability to heal what has been discarded. It is a story that speaks to all ages, encouraging us to look beyond the surface and rediscover the wonder that surrounds us.

This is theatre at its most tender and transformative - a bittersweet reflection on the human condition, and a celebration of imagination, empathy, and the courage to believe in second chances.
