Pocket Money

We have taken the difficult decision to postpone all performances of Pocket Money at the Unicorn to allow more time for us to bring this ambitious production to audiences. We know this will be disappointing news for those who were looking forward to seeing the show, and we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused. All ticket holders will be contacted directly.

A wild ride into the world of finance where children make the decisions.

Featuring big ideas, an interactive voting system and a live DJ set, this world premiere for 7 to 12-year-olds explores financial literacy in the digital age, empowering children to think critically about money, their choices and their future.

Created by experimental theatre-makers Nigel Barrett and Louise Mari in consultation with the Unicorn’s Creative Associates, a mischievous clown, a cutting-edge DJ and financial experts - this high-energy and revelatory show is packed full of surprises and anarchic fun!

A Unicorn Theatre production.
