Interactive Drama Performance with New Leaf Productions - The Bookworm

Want to take part in our interactive drama story-telling production? Book now for The Bookworm with New Leaf Productions. The Bookworm is a tale that begins with children as a captive audience to the storyteller Holly- and tells how Holly lost her best friend 'Lord Wormington'. Through guidance from the storyteller, the children will jump into the storybook and meet pages of characters and challenges to help rescue Lord Wormington- with parts improvised through their suggestions. The aim? To get Lord Wormington back home! Children will develop imagination, elasticity with words and encourage out of the box thinking.
