THE VELVETEEN RABBIT REAL ISN’T HOW YOU ARE MADE… IT’S A THING THAT HAPPENS TO YOU. By Margery Williams Directed 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. This Easter, join the Unicorn for a heart-warming tale 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...

HENRY THE FIFTH
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A KING AND ANY OTHER MAN? By Ignace Cornelissen Translated by Purni Morell Based on Henry V by William Shakespeare 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. He decides to invade. A long and terrible war ensues with huge costs on both sides, including the castle Henry dreamed of having for himself. Adapted by Ignace Cornelissen who wrote the Unicorn’s much-loved 2012 production, A Winter’s Tale, this dynamic and contemporary new version of Henry V will make you wonder whether getting into a fight is really worth all the mess it leaves behind.

Tanya thinks it’s boyish fun and games until, very suddenly, it isn’t.
