Ailie Cohen, Lewis Hetherington

Larry’s got no time for fun, but that’s all about to change...

Larry works in an office and he likes it very much. He likes sorting and tidying and generally putting things in order. Everything in its place, a place for everything.

But one day, a suitcase appears at his door. A suitcase with a tiny label. A tiny label with Larry’s name on it. And this suitcase has a mission...

Join Larry in The Secret Life of Suitcases as his world gets turned upside down by a fantastical flying suitcase that takes him further than he ever thought possible.

Follow Larry’s journey in this funny and enchanting new collaboration between playwright Lewis Hetherington and renowned puppeteer Ailie Cohen (Cloud Man, The Man Who Planted Trees), which was shortlisted for a Critics’ Award for Theatre in Scotland.
