The Garbage King archiveWhen Mamo meets Dani in a graveyard in Addis Ababa, he sees a spoiled little rich boy. To someone who's been abandoned on the city streets and forced to flee child-traffickers, it seems that only a fool would run away from such a privileged life. But the two runaways turn out to have more in common than they first imagine, and soon strike up an unlikely friendship. And when the struggle for survival draws them into a street gang, they rapidly find themselves entirely dependent on their ties to their gang-mates, and one another. Inspired by the true stories of courageous African children growing up on the edge of destitution, the Unicorn follows its acclaimed adaptation of Siobhan Dowd's The London Eye Mystery with the world stage première of Elizabeth Laird's hit novel. Live music and Jean Chan's Linbury-Prize winning set made from recycled and found objects combine in a striking production that brims with the sight and sounds of the Ethiopian capital city. Age 10+
