About the Show

A musical adaptation of Julia Donaldson & Axel Scheffler's best-selling book about the joy of reading.

Charlie loves to read, especially pirate stories. However, his sister hates reading – she thinks it’s boring! Can Charlie convince her that reading is fun? Maybe if the story is about a pirate, who is reading a book about Goldilocks, who is reading a book about a knight, she might like it...

Through puppetry and music, Charlie Cook takes audiences on an adventure through a series of stories to invoke a love of reading.

This production is recommended for ages 3 - 8.

Critic Reviews (1)

For a previous production

“The structure is inherently episodic as we jump from story to story, which does become slightly repetitive. But Jungr’s lively music keeps the energy up and is skillfully delivered by the three-strong cast of Pierre Hanson-Johnson, Georgie Samuels and Freya Stephenson.”
