BOOKS! - SATURDAY 25TH JULY 2026
BOOKS! - SATURDAY 25TH JULY 2026
Books!’ is a high energy show featuring acrobatics, fire-juggling, eccentric absurdity, terrible puns and, of course, books.
Presented by four bedraggled book enthusiasts, traveling from
town to town – forced between the margins – on a mission to protect
literature. Sadly, their strange little book club is down to its last
four members (largely due to their
dangerously immersive reading habits) and it is vital for them to
recruit more radical reading enthusiasts to support their wordy worthy
cause.
Without new members, the book club might close for good! Libraries, along with their precious volumes, may disappear forever! (You may take a moment to gasp in horror).
These hardback heroes can’t let such a tragic epilogue come to pass. But they need your help!
Suitable for: age 6-11
Duration: 35 mins (PLEASE NOTE THAT THE MORNING PERFORMANCE OF 'BOOKS!' IS AT 11:30AM, NOT 11AM AS PER ALL OUR OTHER SHOWS)
Tit for Tat is an unusual Circus Theatre company that believes in celebrating the ordinary. Taking ordinary objects, objectives and scenes, they explore every nook and cranny until they make them extra-ordinary.
