Lights! Cameras! Action! Set on a film shoot and layered with live projections, this show thoughtfully and hilariously reimagines this 100 year old children’s story by Margery Williams.

One of those rare stories that dare to tease out complex themes of love, loss and change in a way that allows children to connect with them, Velveteen Rabbit is about a toy rabbit who becomes real…but how did it happen?

In the hands of physical theatre superstars Born in a Taxi, the story is infused with dynamic audience participation, live and recorded music with live stream video and projections layered into the work that plays with multiple scales that reflect the perspective of a child. The work is incredibly accessible and playful, whilst introducing young audiences to astonishing visuals and poetics.

Please bring your own favourite snuggly toy to the show! This is a show where the toys are in charge on stage, and your own toy is a VIP guest!
