Bookstory is a new show from composer, director and playwright Ben Glasstone (The Mouse Queen, Fantastic Mr. Fox). This magical musical comedy about books and their place in our lives will visit libraries and theatres around the UK.

All the books are happy in Brian's busy library. Thriller or Textbook, History or Romance - they all love to be borrowed. But one day Brian goes all quiet. And so does his library. Doesn't Brian care about his books anymore? And what's that - is that a funny, shiny-looking book that says it has four billion pages? Will they all be left on the shelf?

The books had better stiffen their spines, because to save their library they may have to check themselves out...MONSTRO theatre's latest pioneering puppet musical tells the story of the story in the digital age, using song, puppetry and dynamic performance.

'Original songs so hummable, West End composers should take note...Don't bother about a small child as a pretext: just go.' Fiona Mountford, Evening Standard on The Mouse Queen (Critics' Choice)
