Choose! Choose! Choose!

A wild ride into the world of finance where children make the decisions.

Featuring big ideas, an interactive voting system and a live DJ set, this world premiere for 7 to 11-year-olds explores financial literacy in the digital age, empowering children to think critically about money, their choices and their future.

Created by experimental theatre-makers Nigel Barrett & Louise Mari in consultation with the Unicorn’s Creative Associates, a mischievous clown, a cutting-edge DJ and financial experts - this high-energy and revelatory show is packed full of surprises and anarchic fun!
