Scratch Performance

We spent two weeks June 2022 exploring ideas and concepts at Z-arts in Manchester. This was followed by 2 scratch performances, the latter of which took place at The Story Museum in Oxford and was filmed for sharing.

About Luna Loves Library Day

Every week, Luna looks forward to one special day… Library Day! It’s the day when she discovers magic among the library shelves, from dinosaurs to mummies, from unexplained mysteries to monsters and magic. But for Luna, Library Day is also the one day a week that she gets to spend with Dad, making it all the more special.

Join Luna and her Dad for a musical adventure among the library shelves as they discover magic, mystery, laughter, sadness and, through the power of stories, even start to mend their own history.

Adapted for the stage by award winning poet and author Joseph Coelho, with original songs and music by family favourite David Gibb, Luna Loves Library Day is the perfect treat for children aged 5+ and their families.
