Benji, why don’t you just read a book?

A book? Boring! Books are boring!

No one is interested in the little bookcase in the corner - they have far more important things to do. Then one day, the magical Flicker starts throwing books from the shelves and flicking through pages. Soon there is mayhem and chaos as a whole host of story-trouble comes tumbling out to charm and disrupt everybody's ordinary lives.

FLICKER AND THE FLYING BOOKS has been created by members of the Royal Exchange Theatre's two community Companies - the Young Company (aged 14-21) and the Elders' Company (aged 60+). It received its world premiere in Summer 2015 as part of the Manchester Children’s Book Festival and was a sell-out success.

I produced Flicker & The Flying Birds on behalf of the Royal Exchange Theatre.
