Visitors to Leeds Central Library can take a spellbinding step into an enchanting storybook world this Christmas thanks to a series of immersive live performances.
From December 10 and throughout the next month, the library’s atmospheric Room 700 will be the setting for Libellule Theatre’s magical production of The Storymaker’s Apprentice.
Aimed at children aged three to eight, and with performances that are accessible to all, the show tells the captivating tale of Tan, an apprentice at Barwick’s Bibliopole, makers of the finest books in town.
As the Winterlight festival approaches, Tan is busy helping forge stories for others but wishes she could tell a tale about a girl just like her.
Performances will take place amid the library stacks and will invite the audience to take part in the story. Ticket prices have also been subsidised by funding from Arts Council England to keep them as affordable as possible.
The Storymaker’s Apprentice will be at Leeds Central Library from December 10-31. Tickets are £5 for children and £7 for adults and can be booked at https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/whats-on?q=libellule
Audio-Described performances are on Sunday, December 11 at 11am and 2pm, BSL Interpreted performances are Sunday, December 18 at 11am and 2pm and a relaxed performance is on Thursday, December 29 at 1.30pm.
There are also extra performances especially for schools on December 7, 8, 9, 13, 14 and 15. Schools can email louise@libelluletheatre.co.uk to book.
