About the Event

Author, performer and composer Gareth P Jones brings his twisted fairytales to life with music and silliness.

Rabunzel is a long eared rabbit who gets locked away in a high hutch by her over-protective mother. CinderGorilla is a disco dancing gorilla who can't go to the disco ball.

Help Gareth adapt these books into musicals. Featuring original sing-along songs, live music, fast rapping, funky ukuleles, heartfelt ballads and frenetic storytelling, this show is interactive, inclusive, irreverent and made to entertain all ages.

Suitable for ages 4 – 11.

Children must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Children must be library members - they can join on the day.

Booking essential by popping into the library or by phone.
