A World Premiere Adaptation

“Promethean’s new adaptation is a delightfully weird quest. Adapter-director Rutherford manages to serve both the novel’s hard-core fans and those to whom the tale is new. It’s a charming jaunt that more than lives up to its source.”
-Caitlin Montanye-Parrish, Time Out Chicago
”By giving thoughtful attention to stagecraft and body language, adapter-director Ed Rutherford and his cast manage to limn the title unicorn, a butterfly, a cat, a talking skull, a towering bull.”
-Laura Molzahn, Chicago Reader
”Ed Rutherford’s vision and passion for the material propels this production. Kudos to Ed and his cast for mounting a fine adult fable. This is imaginative theatre.”
