Unicorn tickets

The world premiere of Mike Bartlett’s funny and provocative play, Unicorn, comes to the Garrick Theatre. Book Unicorn tickets on London Theatre.

Unicorn in London stars Nicola Walker (Unforgotten, The Split), Stephen Mangan (The Split, Episodes), and Erin Doherty (The Crown, Chloe).

“I would have needed my head examined if I’d passed up the opportunity to be involved in this play by the brilliant Mike Bartlett. It’s hilarious, provocative, intelligent and deeply moving,” said Stephen Mangan. “And it’s being directed by the peerless James Macdonald. And Erin Doherty is in it. As is my old friend and TV ex-wife Nicola Walker. It’s just an embarrassment of riches.”

Together, the talented cast tells the story of Polly and Nick, a married couple who seem to have it all—two children and successful careers. However, something is still missing as they seek to add some sparkle.

Unicorn is a play by Mike Bartlett with direction by James Macdonald (Waiting for Godot), set and costume design by Miriam Buether (Patriots), lighting design by Natasha Chivers (The Hills of California), sound design by Ian Dickinson (Company), intimacy direction by Yarit Dor (Why Am I So Single?), and casting by Amy Ball (The Hills of California).

As Mike Bartlett said, “Kate Horton has championed Unicorn from the moment she read it, and I’m thrilled it will be the first play her new company produces. I’m so happy to get the chance to get to work with James Macdonald and Miriam Buether again, and with the incredible Nicola Walker, Stephen Mangan and Erin Doherty – all superb actors I’ve been a fan of for a long time.”

This play unites James Macdonald, Mike Bartlett, and Kate Horton, who collaborated in 2009 for the production of Cock at the Royal Court.
