The Bookbinder - SOLD OUT

The Bookbinder - SOLD OUT

“They say you can get lost in a good book. But it's worse to get lost in a bad one...”

An old man sits down to read the tale of an erstwhile bookbinding apprentice. As he speaks the story spills from the pages and into the bindery - from pop-up book to puppetry, story-telling to live action - weaving an original dark fairy tale in the vein of Neil Gaiman. 

The Bookbinder is an inventive one-man performance for adults and older children that spins a story of mystery, magic and mayhem. 

Note: Recommended for children 8 years and over.
