Founded in 1947 by Caryl Jenner as a Mobile Theatre, the Unicorn Theatre is one of the leading producers of professional theatre for children in Britain.
Now based in the new world-class theatre centre in Tooley Street, in the London Borough of Southwark. It is comprised of two theatre spaces (the Weston Theatre and the Clore Theatre), education studio, cafe and other welcoming areas for families and schools.
In 1961 Caryl Jenner began presenting children's productions at the Arts Theatre in central London, and in 1967 the company took over the lease of the theatre which then became Unicorn's permanent performing base until 1999; during this period the normal run of adult performances continued during the evenings.
The Unicorn is made up of two organisations. Caryl Jenner Productions (named after the founder) is known as "Unicorn Theatre for Children" and Caryl Jenner Productions is the organisation which commissions, produces and markets all the Unicorn’s shows.
