The Bee In Me is a brand new play on at the Unicorn Theatre this February.

One ordinary child living an ordinary life. Every day the same: parents still asleep, late again for school, can’t find their clean trousers. But today is different. Today is a game. Today they have wings…

The play frames a day in the life of a 10 year-old from their perspective as they imagine themselves as a bee completing levels in a computer game.

This dreamlike, moving and energetic production touches on the challenges of urban life for a neglected child, celebrates them discovering their inner resources – resilience, determination and ingenuity – and perfectly expresses the power of the imagination to set us free.
