Gulliver’s Travels: Relaxed Performance
An adventure-filled modern adaptation of Jonathan Swift’s surreal masterpiece
Lemuel Gulliver sails away to a world of strange islands and even stranger creatures – from the tiny inhabitants of Lilliput, to the giants of Brobdingnag, and the mysterious Houyhnhnms - and embarks upon an epic adventure of survival, unexpected friendship and self-discovery.
Gulliver’s fantastical imaginings are vividly brought to life using video camera, intricate table-top sets and projection alongside live performance in this playful, funny and highly inventive show that uses Swift’s biting satire to explore reality and escapism, home and family, and the power of stories to transform our view of the world.

About a Relaxed Performance
Relaxed Performances at the Unicorn are open to all but primarily designed to support people with autism, learning difficulties, or other sensory and communication needs by providing a more relaxed environment in which to experience a show. At a Relaxed Performance it's OK to move around, make noise or to leave the auditorium.
The Unicorn provides a free Visual Story to help you prepare for the visit, the story and the themes in the show. They also provide a ‘chill-out’ space so you have the option to be in a quiet room before, during or after the performance.
For the performance itself:
the house lights are a little brighter
loud and surprising noises are softer
moments of audience interaction are amended or removed
