Event details
Embark on a magical journey with Last Unicorn Airways!
Join two whimsical baggage handlers as they recreate a fantastical round-the-world adventure aboard the final flight of Last Unicorn Airways, opening suitcases brimming with trinkets, fine clothes, alluring smells and exciting tales.
Among these treasures lies a special case containing The Flying Trunk, a captivating Arabian Nights-inspired fable about a daring, globe-trotting storyteller with nothing but a magical flying suitcase!
Adapted from Hans Christian Andersen’s timeless story, the show uses playful storytelling to remind us to see everyday life as an adventure and to cherish our world and each other. It’s a heartwarming reflection on courage, connection and resilience – perfect for families and children, including those with complex needs and disabilities.
After the show, step into a sensory immersive installation, offering a unique, interactive experience for every audience member.
Last Unicorn Airways was co-created through working creatively with young people and was originally co-commissioned by Barnsley Civic and ARC Stockton-on-Tees.
