World premiere of Mike Barlett’s UNICORN to debut at Garrick Theatre in February 2025

It has been announced that the world premiere of Mike Bartlett’s new play Unicorn, directed by James Macdonald, will debut at the Garrick Theatre in the West End from 4 February-26 April 2025.

This explicit, funny and provocative new play will star Nicola Walker (Unforgotten) as Polly, Stephen Mangan (Episodes) as Nick, and Erin Doherty (The Crown) as Kate.

“Nick: Have you two kissed already?

Polly: No

Kate: Yes”

Polly and Nick have it all. Happily married, two children, successful careers. And yet there's something missing...something rare and unforeseen…waiting to add a much-needed sparkle…

Director James Macdonald said: “I'm delighted to be embarking on my third play with Mike, after the joys of Cock and Wild! And to be doing so in the company of a peerless trio of actors – not to mention the most brilliant design team...”

Joining director James Macdonald is designer Miriam Buether, lighting designer Natasha Chivers and sound designer Ian Dickinson.
