Unicorn Theatre to Host Free Debates Around Fight Night with Commentators

The Unicorn Theatre will be running a series of post-show events around Fight Night chaired by well-known political commentators; Unicorn Ambassador and Broadcaster Mishal Husain, T4 presenter and author of recently published None of the Above book, Rick Edwards and British Youth Council Trustee and Special Advisor on Youth Policy, Kenny Imafidon.

Internationally renowned Belgian Theatre makers Ontroerend Goed return to the Unicorn from 16 April to 3 May with Fight Night; an immersive exploration of the intricacies and traps of voting systems and democracy in the media.

The Unicorn is taking this opportunity to open a discussion with their audience in advance of the General Election, at a time when our democratic process is as important as ever.

Directed by Alexander Devriendt, Fight Night is bold and provocative and asks serious questions about democracy and choice, volition and motivation but with the mischievous spirit of a game show.
