Based on the original book Charlie Cook’s Favourite Book – written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler. Adapted by Barb Jungr and Samantha Lane.
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 read 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…
This major new musical adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s ‘Charlie Cook’s Favourite Book’ will celebrate the joy of reading – from the Olivier nominated team behind “The Smartest Giant in Town”.
Following a Christmas run at the Little Angel Theatre in Islington, this enchanting co-production between Little Angel Theatre and The Lowry is embarking on a nationwide tour through 2024, with accompanying literacy workshops for schools.
