Scout Boxall – God's Favourite

In sparkling contradiction, Scout Boxall's new show God’s Favourite sets out to prove that you're only the main character in your own story. The show follows Boxall through a haunting brush with antidepressant withdrawal, on what was supposed to be a very special day for them – performing an integral role at a LARP wedding.

Boxall is relatable and revealing in their exploration of how medieval times – despite being an inarguably cruel period, particularly for the AFAB community – hold a certain je ne sais quoi in their aura of simplicity for those alive in 2025.

Beyond Boxall’s immaculate performance, which somehow straddles deadpan and operatic vocal registers simultaneously, the show’s sound design was equally brilliant. From The Doors to cathedral organs, this soundtrack had it all – and it went a long way towards creating the eerie confession booth-atmosphere that so enhances this show.
