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.

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.  

Bookings not required.
