"I've always been a supporter of the Unicorn ever since my daughter was little.  It's great that the Unicorn now has this splendid new theatre.  I hope as many young people as possible get to enjoy wonderful performances.  Nothing beats the thrill of live theatre!"

Jacqueline Wilson CBE, Children's Laureate 2005 - 2007

“The Unicorn combines excellence with accessibility to all London’s young people and that’s why I support it with all my heart” 

Emma Thompson, actress 

“Bringing young people to plays and plays to young people are some of the most valuable things that adults can do.  To introduce them to theatre is to give them a priceless gift; it nourishes their imaginations, it extends their sympathies, it stimulates their intelligence.  The Unicorn welcomes and draws upon the simplest storytelling by the youngest child as well as fifty years of its own experience.”

Philip Pullman CBE, children's author

“I believe the Unicorn is one of the most important theatre companies in the country.  Why?  Because it is their job to stimulate the imaginations of the young.”

Dame Judi Dench DBE, actress

“The Unicorn has set out to bring theatre and story to the young people of London and to encourage in them a passion for both.  To have such a centre of excellence is a wonderful boon to the young people, to the young people who need it most, and a unique contribution to the cultural life of this country.”

Michael Morpurgo, Children's Laureate 2003 - 2005
