Michael Morpurgo’s I Believe in Unicorns

Michael Morpurgo’s I Believe in Unicorns will be performed at Pleasance Theatre from Wednesday 31st July – Monday 26th August, 10.30am at Pleasance Two. The show was staged as a two-hander, at Edinburgh Fringe 2013 and now returns completely re-imagined for the festival in 2019 with renowned storyteller Danyah Miller.

I Believe in Unicorns is set in a library and is a tale about the power of books. The play centres on a brave, young boy called Tomas who loves playing in the mountains but hates reading and school. His world is turned upside down the day he meets the Unicorn and the Unicorn Lady in his local library.

This one-woman show is an interactive, enchanting play which sparks the imagination of both children and adults. The show won an Argus Angel Award for Artistic Excellence at the Brighton Festival 2014 and a Family Arts Festival Audience Choice Award in 2015.
