Do you ever feel that you’re missing out? That life is happening outside of your control?

That's how these three characters feel - they are trying to rehearse a play, despite the big party box taking up all the space on stage. Something is going on that they're not part of. It feels like one big, thumping, steaming party, that they can't find the entrance to. They hear the bass, but where's the music coming from?

Everyone else seems to know exactly where to go. Or are those just ghosts in their head?

The creators of the 2019 Festival sell-out show Invisible Man returns with a farcical play full of humour where the most unexpected events take place on stage, and to everyone’s delight… with the audience! Will you get invited inside the party box?

"Amazing!!! It's hilarious, there's this big box interrupting the show and they were all running around it - it was just absolutely hilarious."

"The show It Would Be Such a Shame If You Missed Out is about 3 actors who were trying to perform a show but there was a party box which kept playing loud music whenever they tried to speak. They then felt like they were missing out on the party and were trying to get in. I loved the audience participation bit where they kept saying there were so many spaces left and we all ran to get in. I didn't manage to get in but watching everyone else inside made it more fun. However I would say that not being in the box made me feel like I was missing out so in some ways I feel as if I truly experienced the show. I would rate this show 4 stars as enjoyed it a lot and it made me laugh."
