After all\, we’re all related if you go back far enough! \nSquashbox Theatre’s shows are a much-loved fixture of the Coronation Park summer programme. A former member of Cornwall’s renowned Kneehigh Theatre\, Craig combines natural history\, slapstick and a gently subversive sense of humour that delights adults just as much as children.
