'Incredible Book Eating Boy' ©Oliver Jeffers. Published and Licensed by HarperCollins Children’s Books.

Henry loved books, but not like you and I like books…he loved to EAT books. This exciting theatre adaptation of Oliver Jeffers’ award-winning children’s book by Bootworks Theatre follows the story of a boy with a voracious appetite for books.

Come and see this unique performance in the company’s world-renowned Black Box theatre and watch Bootworks bring the pages to life! An exciting adventure for 4+ year olds, and their grown ups using live performance, puppetry and back projection.

Each performance is 5 minutes long, performed to one child and an accompanying adult at a time. All children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

“Incredible Book Eating Boy is just brilliant, a real five minute wonder. One of my most enjoyable Fringe experiences.”

Lyn Gardner, The Guardian

Performances take place at Battle Library. There is an interactive area for the children to play in whilst waiting for their performance slot.

Tickets £5 per show (for 1 adult & 1 child)
