In a child's room, a once-forgotten stuffed rabbit overshadowed by mechanical toys is loved so deeply it becomes real. Its fur wears thin, its whiskers fall out, but once real, it can never be ugly—except to those who don't understand.
Lead dancers Gavin Coward and Natalie MacGillivray bring to life the emotions tied to childhood toys and the enduring power of belief. Nasir Mazhar's imaginative designs, from the Playroom Fairy's sequins to the wild rabbits' textured coats, add depth and wonder.
Directed by multi-award-winning Liv Lorent, this is an emotionally resonant experience that will stay with you long after viewing.
