The latest addition to this wonderful app is the Great Expectations Toy Theatre in celebration of Dickens bicentary and thanks to the support of producers Beckman Unicorn.

One of Gwyneth Paltrows "cant-live-without iPad apps". This app brings the much beloved Pollocks toy theatres of the Victorian era to the digital format. We have remained authentic to the original theatres, including going into the Pollocks archives to retrieve images of the original hand-painted theatres. The app allows users to construct their own theatre, choose their characters and then finally record and edit their very own plays, complete with their own audio. The graphics are absolutely gorgeous and will provide hours of enjoyment for anyone who is a budding director or actor.

This app contains the scenery backdrops and characters for:
* Shakespeares "Midsummer Nights Dream"
* Dickens "Great Expectations" toy theatre - the first time ever in toy theatre format as part of the Dickens bicentenary celebrations and thanks to Backman Unicorn, producers of the lavish stage production.

"A truly wonderfully magic concept and beautifully designed app - genius and authentic idea for a new generation of budding theatre lovers" - Ralph Fiennes, actor

"a thing of rare charm and beauty" - Guardian, newspaper
