THE UK’S THEATRE FOR YOUNG AUDIENCES

JAN – AUG 2015

Welcome to our spring/summer season! As always, we have shows for all ages, lots of activities and special events, plus, during the summer holidays, we’ll be running theatre workshops and a new film club. I’m delighted to announce that The Velveteen Rabbit is returning for a second season. I very much enjoyed directing this show last year as it’s a story with so much depth and feeling; it really is one of those classics that will stay with you for life. I am also excited to see the return of one of our most successful shows, Henry the Fifth, which originally ran in 2013. For me, this production does what all the best theatre should do – it is smart, original and perceptive, as well as hugely entertaining. For teenagers and adults we welcome Fight Night by Ontroerend Goed, a company I admire for their experimental, questioning and provocative approach to theatre-making. This extraordinary interactive show explores what our relationship with voting says about us. It plays here at the Unicorn in the run-up to the General Election, offering a new generation of young voters the chance to make their voices heard.   We look forward to welcoming you as ever, and hope that you will think of us as your artistic home from home.

THE VELVETEEN RABBIT REAL ISN’T HOW YOU ARE MADE... IT’S A THING THAT HAPPENS TO YOU.By Margery WilliamsDirected by Purni Morell

There was once a velveteen rabbit, and in the beginning he was really splendid. He was fat and bunchy, as a rabbit should be; and for at least two hours the Boy loved him.

Join us for the return of hit show The Velveteen Rabbit, a heart-warming story about a very shy toy rabbit who longs for nothing more than to become real. He spends his days waiting patiently on the nursery floor, watching the Boy play with the other toys and dreaming of being picked up and loved. And then, one day, he is rediscovered and all his hopes start to come true…

First published in 1922, this classic American tale loses nothing of its power, magic and charm in this bold and adventure-filled adaptation for the Unicorn stage.

See the trailer and production photos online.

Age guide: for everyone aged 4+Duration: 1 hr 30 mins (incl. interval)

Teacher CPD and resources available.

HENRY THE FIFTH WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A KING AND ANY OTHER MAN?By Ignace Cornelissen, translated by Purni Morell and directed by Ellen McDougall Kings need crowns and castles to prove themselves, and so does Henry. Henry the Fifth, that is, of England. But Henry is running out of cash and all he can think about is that his neighbour’s castle is bigger than his… Following critical acclaim when it premiered in 2013, Henry the Fifth is back for 2 weeks only. Described as ‘a clever and engaging show’ by the Guardian and ‘probing’ and ‘playful’ by the Telegraph, this modern, fun and inventive take on Shakespeare’s play is an absolute must-see. See the trailer and production photos online. Age guide: 8+ | Duration: 60 mins
