Morpurgo’s Unicorns on stream from Playhouse

OLIVIER Award-nominated Wizard Presents are bringing bestselling children’s author Michael Morpurgo’s enchanting tale I Believe in Unicorns to life in an interactive production to be streamed live from the stage at Oxford Playhouse on Thursday, April 15, at 2pm.

I Believe in Unicorns has been adapted for the stage by Dani Parr and Danyah Miller and premiered at Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2013.

Danyah Miller also stars in this one-woman show, which has been seen and enjoyed by more than 78,000 people, including two hugely successful seasons at Vaudeville Theatre in London’s West End, a Christmas season at Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond, and as part of Imagine Children’s Festival 2016 at Royal Festival Hall on the Southbank.

The Playhouse’s programming director Laura Elliot said of Wizard Presents’ return to the Playhouse: “We’re so excited to be able to offer this Morpurgo classic to families to enjoy this April.

“Miller brings this beautiful tale to life on stage, and we are so pleased to be working with her and the Wizard Presents team again this year.” Immediately after the live stream performance, there will be a free post-show talk taking place via Zoom with Danyah Miller and Michael Morpurgo. Ticket holders can submit a question for the Q&A element of this session in advance by getting in touch with the Oxford Playhouse marketing team via any one of its social media channels.

I Believe in Unicorns is suitable for families with children aged six-plus and for everyone who loves stories and books. www.oxfordplayhouse.com
