_OVERVIEW:

A Little Angel Theatre, The Lowry and Rose Theatre co-production

CHARLIE COOK’S FAVOURITE BOOK 

Based on the original book Charlie Cook’s Favourite Book - written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler

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. 

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…
