MAGIC BOOK THEATRE is a London based theatre company performing
popular and funny two-person puppet shows in Primary schools,
libraries, festivals, corporate events and children's parties.
We specialise in simple low-tech puppetry often using everyday
objects that “come alive” and combine inventive storytelling with
live music, participation and shadow puppetry.
For Primary
schools we offer a choice of 40 minute shows. These can be followed
by puppet making workshops tailored to your area of study. E.g.:
Indian shadow puppets, circus, fairy tales or popular children's
books etc. Please contact Michele with your requirements.
Founded in 1999 by children's writer Michele Petit-Jean ….. we
specialise in creating highly visual spectacles with engaging
stories for children as young as 3 years. Our workshops and shows
have been performed in Spain and Switzerland as well as many
