About the Show

A bold, witty look at marriage and desire, with provocative humor and honesty.

Unicorn, the latest play from Mike Bartlett, explores the uncharted complexities of modern relationships, bringing wit and audacity to the forefront. Polly and Nick seem to have it all—a strong marriage, two children, successful careers. Yet, beneath this picture-perfect life lies a craving for something unusual, something that could rekindle a lost spark.

Starring Nicola Walker (Unforgotten, The Split), Stephen Mangan (The Split, Episodes), and Erin Doherty (The Crown, Chloe), this provocative production dives into the heart of love and desire, pushing the boundaries of intimacy and self-discovery.

This production contains explicit language, content and scenes of a sexual nature, which some audience members may find intriguing.
