**** 'The perfect first theatre outing' Manchester Evening News

Tom Fletcher’s interactive adventures for big imaginations are leaping from page to stage, as the beloved ‘Who’s in Your Book?' series tours the UK in a brand new musical show.

A group of performers are preparing to start their show, but quickly discover they are not alone on stage. Little Monster wants to be part of the fun too! With an invitation to his friends, Dragon, Alien and Unicorn to join him, you can expect comedy and chaos as they help to create a magical show, learning about the joy of books and friendship along the way.

A high energy 50 minute adventure featuring lively original music, this show is the perfect introduction to live theatre.

Expect plenty of playful fun for your littlest ones as their favourite characters come to life in a show that is packed with interactive moments to enjoy together.

New music composed by Tom Fletcher, Barry Bignold and Miranda Larson.

Tom Fletcher says, "Being part of the creative team has been a real joy and I’ve loved blending my passion for storytelling with live theatre. Back when we kicked things off in 2023, I never imagined we’d be heading out on a fourth national tour in 2026! It’s all thanks to the brilliant puppeteers, the magical puppets and the amazing families who keep coming back. I know taking kids to the theatre can be a bit daunting–but this show is made with young families in mind. It’s completely interactive, noisy in all the best ways and children are encouraged to shout,sing,clap and dance their hearts out!

Cost: £14.00/£50.00 family/£11.00 groups 10+ (+£1.50 trans fee)

Visable Fictions presents Harold.

Written by Martin McCormick.

Directed by Douglas Irvine.

Growing up is one big adventure but not everyone can come along for the ride.

Connie and Harold have been best pals for 11 years - they're inseparable. Harold, you see, is her cuddly toy and soon Connie will be going to high school and he won’t be allowed to come along. Things are changing at home too, new family members and new responsibilities . . . 

Connie doesn't like all this growing up stuff so she grabs Harold and runs away.  However, Connie soon realises that there are more threatening things to contend with than just getting older, and Harold too has a big surprise, a magical surprise, that turns her world around for the better. Forever.

A heart warming play with songs for those aged 9 and over.
