Luna Loves Library Day
Friday 11 October - Sunday 20 October

Recommended for ages 5-8

Join Luna and her Dad for an adventure among the library shelves in this exciting new musical for families.

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 a chance to spend time with Dad, making it all the more special.

Based on the critically acclaimed book by Waterstones Children’s Laureate Joseph Coelho and illustrator Fiona Lumbers, join Luna and Dad as they discover magic and mystery, laughter and 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 music and lyrics by family favourite David Gibb, Luna Loves Library Day is the perfect treat for children and their families.

Approximately 1 hour

Tickets from £10*

Hey Kid. Hey Goat
'Hey Kid. Hey Goat' explores the tumultuous relationships of Ez, Will, Freddie, and Lillian. Trapped in her apartment due to a broken lock, unresolved tensions surface. Ez must delve into her painful past, pushing her to the brink. As forgiveness becomes the key to freedom, the play unfolds with intense confrontations, a dance to 'Moonlight Serenade,' and a powerful moment of disclosure. But forgiveness is often easier said than done. The play sets the stage for a journey into self-discovery, forgiveness, and the consequences of holding onto past grievances.

Written by LAC company member Anna Cleden and developed in partnership with the LAC, ‘Hey Kid. Hey Goat’ had a very successful run as part of the Riverside Studio Bitesize Festival in February 2024, and we’re excited for it's revival at the LAC.

Friday 18th and Saturday 19th October 7.30pm Tickets £10
