Nigel Barrett and Louise Mari said, “We are absolutely thrilled to be presenting our original interactive show POCKET MONEY at The Unicorn – our national theatre for children. We have an incredible team of Olivier nominated actors and artists, makers and technologists and a dedicated team of Young Associates who have been helping us every step of the way. It has been an absolute joy to make from start to finish and we can't wait to share the show with young audiences.”
