They say you can get lost in a good book. But it's worse getting lost in a bad one...
From award-winning company Trick of the Light Theatre comes a story of mystery, magic, and mayhem. An old man sits down to read the tale of an erstwhile bookbinding apprentice. As he speaks, the story spills from the pages and into the bindery. The Bookbinder weaves shadowplay, paper art, puppetry and music into an original dark fairytale in the vein of Neil Gaiman.
