"There are two ways to be real," the Skin Horse says. "The first is when you are
real to one special child, and the second is when you are real to the world."
More than anything the velveteen rabbit wants to be a real rabbit — she wants
to be real to the world.
One night the Toy Fairy offers her a chance, but she must leave with her
immediately. The boy, who is ill with scarlet fever, will die without his toy
rabbit. Will the Velveteen Rabbit go with the Toy Fairy, or will her love for
the boy cause her to turn her back on the thing she wants most? If she
stays, what will happen to her?
Margery Williams' beloved tale is faithfully told and carefully expanded for the
stage. The Velveteen Rabbit provides young audiences with
comedy, pathos, adventure and a final triumph for the hero, who learns that
love makes all things real.
