THE WOLF, THE DUCK AND THE MOUSE

Published on 20th September 2023

Join the Unicorn Theatre this Christmas for the stage adaptation of Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen’s brilliantly subversive picture book which finds joy and friendship in the darkest and most unusual of places.

Quarter Life Crisis at the Bridge Theatre

Published on 28th August 2020

After a sell out performance in 2017, Yolanda Mercy is back with her hit theatre and radio show Quarter Life Crisis at the Bridge Theatre. Alicia is a hot mess. She doesn’t know what she’s doing with her life. Swiping left, swiping right to find the perfect match. Even though she’s a Londoner, born and bred, the scent of Lagos peppers her existence in the ends.

What does it mean to be an adult and when do you become one? Quarter Life Crisis mixes addictive baselines and spoken word.

Beat The Devil at the Bridge Theatre

Ralph Fiennes stars in Beat The Devil; a covid monologue directed by Nicholas Hytner at the Bridge Theatre. Covid-19 seems to be a sort of dirty bomb, thrown into the body to cause havoc.  On the same day that the UK government finally made the first of two decisive interventions that led to a conspicuously late lockdown, David Hare contracted Covid-19. Nobody seemed to know much about it then, and many doctors are not altogether sure they know much more today. Suffering a pageant of apparently random symptoms, Hare recalls the delirium of his illness, which mixed with fear, dream, honest medicine and dishonest politics to create a monologue of furious urgency and power.

Lucinda Coxon, the writer behind 2015 film The Danish Girl, adapts Harriet Lane’s debut novel in this gripping psychological thriller.  Frances works on the books pages of a Sunday newspaper.

One evening, driving back to London after visiting her infuriating parents, she comes across an upturned car crumpled on the side of the road. She waits with the injured driver, Alys Kyte, until the ambulance arrives. Later, when Alys’s famous family gets in touch, Frances finds herself for the first time ushered into the world on the other side of the window. And she begins to wonder: what would it take to become a player? Book tickets
