Velveteen Rabbit

Lights! Camera! Action! The toys are making a film, and the audience are the extras. Melbourne theatre company Born in a Taxi thoughtfully and hilariously reimagine the 100-year-old children’s story by Margery Williams with video projections.

Friday 10 October, 10am and 2pm (two 60-minute shows, no interval) 
Glen Eira Town Hall — Auditorium, Corner Glen Eira and Hawthorn Roads, Caulfield 

One of those rare stories that dares to tease out complex themes of loss and love in a way that allows children to connect with them, The Velveteen Rabbit is about a toy rabbit who becomes real … but how did it happen?  

This is a show where the toys are in charge on stage and your own special guest toy is a VIP. The story is infused with dynamic audience participation, music, live stream video and projections, creating multiple scales to give the audience the perspective of a child.  

A must-see for families and anyone who has ever cherished a beloved toy. Please bring your own favourite snuggly toy to the show!

Recommended for ages 4+. The show runs for one hour without an intermission. If your child is under 4 but can comfortably sit through the performance, they are very welcome to attend.

Bookings required.  

Velveteen Rabbit is created by Born in a Taxi, commissioned by Monash University Performing Arts Centre and supported by Creative Victoria.
