Unicorn Theatre announces three more shows as part of their reopening season. Company three presents the premiere of When This Is Over, Sarah Argent’s hit show Scrunch returns at Christmas, Hannah Quigley directs Marvin’s Binoculars and digital productions of Marvin’s Binoculars and Anansi the Spider will be re-released as part of black history month.
Hopeful, energetic and urgent, When This Is Over is a new performance created with seven members of Company Theatre, all aged 14 – 18. The show will premiere at the Unicorn for six performances only, over October half term.
While being part of a young generation grappling with the global crisis, the cast share with us the extraordinary, funny and sometimes embarrassing small moments that make up a life – from childhood pasts, to the impossible imagined hope of what is to come.
Created and performed by Kezia Adewale, Bailey Charalambous, Shilton Freeman, Mackenzie Gardiner, Shyhiem Hossain-Heath, Allegresse Kabuya and Love Omolola.
In Scrunch, It’s Baby’s First Christmas. There’s snow on the ground and lights in the tree, then scrunch, scrunch, scrunch… footsteps on the path – who can it be?
Ding, dong. Doorbell rings and there’s a present for baby, not to be opened until Christmas Day. The paper’s exciting – scrunch it, rumple it, crumple it… what can it be?!
In Marvin’s Binoculars, Marvin loves exploring all the parks around his home in London and finding birds, bugs and animals. On his ninth birthday he’s overjoyed – his very own pair of grown up, pro binoculars! But then something terrible happens: he loses them, and to get them back, he must face the intimidating park warden.
Join Marvin as he discovers wildlife and friendship in the most unlikely places. Touching on themes of racial prejudice and overcoming grief, Marvin’s Binoculars is a highly engaging and vibrant show that will inspire children to explore the outdoors in their local green spaces.
