Unicorn Theatre Medieval Abbey Buildings, Thames Street, Abingdon OX14 3HZ 01865 594020 www.abingdonabbey-unicorntheatre.org.uk Now - Sunday 5 January, various times The Wolf, The Duck and The Mouse One day Mouse is gobbled up by a wolf. ‘Oh woe,’ says Mouse, who fears this must be the end. But then we discover Duck, who was, until Mouse arrived, taking a nap. As it turns out, it’s pretty nice living inside the belly of the beast with a new friend. There’s delicious food, dancing and - better still - no more fear of being eaten! Meanwhile, outside in the forest, things aren’t quite as rosy for Wolf who is being stalked by a hunter. Realising their fates are intertwined, Duck and Mouse hatch a winning plan… Sunday March 15 - Sunday 3 May, various times Gulliver’s Travels This perfect family show is an adventurefilled modern adaptation of Jonathan Swift’s surreal masterpiece. Three teenagers with a camera, projector and props, vividly bring to life Gulliver’s adventures of brutish Yahoos, belligerent Lilliputians, giant Brobdingnagians and wise Houyhnhnms. Blending film and live performance, this playful, funny and highly inventive production uses Swift’s biting satire to view our own world from a very different angle. The North Wall Arts Centre South Parade, Summertown OX2 7JN 01865 319450 www.thenorthwall.com Saturday 1 February Murder She Didn’t Write You become Agatha Christie in this improvised comedy as each night an original murder mystery play is created based entirely on audience suggestions. So take up your magnifying glasses and don your deerstalkers for a never-seenbefore (and never-to-be-seen-again) evening of murder, mayhem and making it up on the spot. Saturday 8 February, 8pm Hollie McNish With fans ranging from Emma Watson, Pink and Benjamin Zephaniah, Ted Hughes Award winner Hollie McNish is a poet whose readings are not to be missed. She has garnered millions of YouTube views for her online poetry readings and was the first poet to record at London’s famed Abbey Road Studios. Wednesday 12 - Thursday 13 February Can I Help You? An off-duty policeman is about to throw himself off Beachy Head when he is met by a woman carrying a laundry bag and a cat box. Over the course of one night, these two disparate souls learn what it truly means to be touched by the magic of hope. Saturday 15 February, 11am & 2pm Chloe and the Colour Catcher Chloe lives in a world with only one colour, a world that is completely grey. But at night, when she’s wrapped up tight, her dreams are colourful and bright. Unable to contain her imaginative thoughts, Chloe tells of the vast blue seas, lush green jungly-trees and golden yellow sands she’s seen. But, hushed at once by her parents, Chloe is warned to keep such thoughts at bay for the Grey Queen is out to wash all trace of colour away. The Wolf, The Duck and The Mouse is also being shown at The North Wall Arts Centre on Friday17 & Saturday 18 January. We take great care in compiling the listings, however we recommend that you check with the venue in advance as events and activities may be subject to change. 8 | www.abingdonliving.co.uk
