See Nicola Walker (Unforgotten, The Split), Stephen Mangan (The Split, Episodes), and Erin Doherty (The Crown, Chloe) on the Garrick Theatre stage.
“Mike Bartlett’s Unicorn is that rare beast you long to see, it’s grown-up and unusual and very, very funny,” Nicola Walker said.
Stephen Mangan added, “I would have needed my head examined if I’d passed up the opportunity to be involved in this play by the brilliant Mike Bartlett. It’s hilarious, provocative, intelligent and deeply moving.”
Together, the expert cast tells the story of the happily married couple, Polly and Nick, who seem to have it all—they have two children and successful careers. However, they’re missing a bit of sparkle.
