About Ontroerend Goed
Handle with Care is a theatre performance by Ontroerend Goed, performed at the Studio at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Running for 75 minutes, the show arrives as a box mailed to the theatre. A group of audience members are invited at a specific night and time, the box is placed at the centre of the stage, and the show begins when an audience member opens it. There are no actors, no technicians — just the box and the audience. Ontroerend Goed hands complete control to the audience for an hour to create something one-off and unrepeatable. Suitable for ages 12 and over.
Why see this show?
A theatre experience unlike anything else at the Fringe — no actors, no script, just a box and the people in the room. Ontroerend Goed invite you to make something meaningful together in 75 minutes. Genuinely one-off and unrepeatable each night at the Studio.
