The Unicorn Theatre hosts the beautiful tale of The Owl Who Was Afraid Of The Dark, perfect for young children.

Suitable for ages 2-5, The Owl Who Was Afraid Of The Dark follows Plop, the eponymous baby barn owl. Fat, fluffy, and still learning to fly, Plop is very curious, always hungry – and afraid of the dark, not helpful as a nocturnal bird.

When Plop’s exasperated mother sends him on several trips to find out more about the night time, he meets a whole host of characters, including a small boy, an old lady, a little girl and a cat who shows him the wonder of the night.

Directed by Lee Lyford, this tale teaches children to embrace the dark.
