Salvi and the Box of Dreams

‘Come in! Come in!’ giggled a mischievous sprite-like creature as she showed us to our seat at the beginning of Salvi and the Box of Dreams. The only thing was, we were not in a theatre at all, but in Salvi’s living room. A tiny room seating eight: adorned with fairy lights, chests, boxes, dream catchers and magical-looking pictures on the wall, even adults started to feel like they were in a bit of a dream.

The creature at the door is Cush, our narrator and friend to Salvi, a tired and grumpy old man who just wants to be left in peace. Cush has other ideas! She wants to know what Salvi keeps in his secret chest and who exactly is making these magical things happen! Using his three ‘dream spirits’, Salvi and Cush show the audience that dreams and imagination can make anything possible!

Five 20-somethings were at a children’s show without children but nonetheless, that was the audience. They were laughing throughout, and I’ve no doubt that children would sincerely enjoy themselves too. It was not patronising, and the physicality of all the characters was wonderful. At the end we were all invited to stay behind with the cast and make dream-catchers. I realise now why this audience was all adults; you are never too young or too old to dream.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
