“A musical adaptation of the best-selling book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler”
Following a critically-acclaimed UK tour, the musical adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s beloved children’s book plays a limited West End engagement at the Trafalgar Theatre this festive season from 5 December – 5 January 2025.
Charlie loves reading. Especially books about pirates. But his sister hates it – it’s boring! Can Charlie convince her that reading is fun? Perhaps if she reads a book about a pirate, who is reading a book about Goldilocks, who is reading a book about a knight…
Come and delve into a range of books with Charlie Cook, brought to life with puppetry and enchanting songs and perhaps you will be able to help his sister discover the wonderful world inside a book…
Adapted by Barb Jungr and Samantha Lane Directed by Samantha Lane Music and Lyrics composed by Barb Jungr Set & costumes designed by Ellie Mills Puppets designed by Maia Kirkman-Richards Lighting Design by Sherry Coenen Stage managed by Olivia Preston
