Little Angel Studios are tucked away in an old community centre in a back street in Islington but like its sister venue, Little Angel Theatre, a few streets south, it offers a full programme of daytime shows aimed at small children from 5 years up. Any show that excites young children to appreciate live performance and encourages them to be creative is to be applauded.
This production from visiting company, Monstro Theatre, goes one step further and encourages children to read books and visit libraries for creative inspiration. The creative mind behind the production is Ben Glasstone who has co-written the story, composed the music and directed the show. Monstro are pioneers of puppet musicals and this production use a combination of character puppets and animated books in the hands of three puppeteers to tell the rather unimaginatively titled Book Story.
