Unicorn Theatre presents

The London Eye Mystery

The London Eye Mystery


The London Eye Mystery

Performed by the Unicorn Ensemble

When Ted and Kat watch their cousin Salim board the London Eye, they naturally assume they’ll see him again 30 minutes later. After all, there’s no way off once the pod’s left the ground, is there? But as the pod completes its journey and everyone troops off, there’s no sign of Salim. How on earth could he have disappeared into thin air?

Frustrated by the lack of progress in the hunt for Salim, Ted decides to try and solve the mystery himself. With the help of his sister Kat, they follow a trail of clues across London in a desperate bid to find their missing cousin. But will they succeed where the adults have failed?

This fast-paced, exhilarating production follows the young characters’ frightening ride from despair to hope, and is the first ever stage adaptation of Siobhan Dowd’s multi award-winning novel.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PRODUCTION CONTAINS STROBE LIGHTING.

The London Eye Mystery is brought to you by the writer/director team behind the Unicorn’s 2006 production of Journey to the River Sea.

“An extraordinary and exhilarating show”  The Guardian on Journey to the River Sea
