Looking for something different to do with your children these school holidays? Then here is your answer - a live play full of fun and excitement.

[i]Room on the Broome [/i] is a live play which is adapted from the award-winning picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. It was published by Macmillan Children's books in 2003 and has been extremely popular since then.



Now CDP presents Tall Stories' production of [i]Room on the Broom. [/i] This book has been brought out in movie form and games and won 'Best Longform' at the British Animation Awards.



It will be held from 23rd to 28th April 2019 at various times. Tickets will cost from $32 to $40 and you can book yours at this link. It will be held at the State Theatre Centre of Western Australia, 174 - 176 William Street, Perth.

Rounding off a busy awards season, the BAAs are a highlight of the animation calendar, celebrating the best British animated films from a variety of genres and styles.

[i]"How the cat purred and how the witch grinned as they sat on their broomstick and flew through the wind…" [/i]

The story goes that the witch and her cat are happily flying through the sky on a broomstick when the wind picks up the witch's hat. The hat blows away, then her bow, and then her wand!

As luck may have it, there are three helpful animals (a dog, bird and a frog) who find the missing items. All these animals want in return is a ride on the broom! However, is there room on the broom for so many friends? After that, disaster strikes when the broom cracks due to the weight of five on it. Will they now be able to save the witch from the hungry dragon or will this be the end of the witch?



This live show was a sell-out in its 2017 tour. It is the same team as the one who put out [i]The Gruffalo [/i] and [i]The Gruffalo's Child. [/i] They now return with songs, laughs and scary fun for children aged three years and up - and their grown-ups.
