Production details
Imagine, Southbank Centre’s annual Children’s Literature Festival, returns in February 2009, with an extensive nine-day programme of readings, storytelling, poetry, stand-up comedy, exhibitions, dance and music across the site - making it the ideal offering to spark the imagination this half-term. Featuring some of the UK’s best writers for children, the Festival runs from Thursday 12 - Friday 20 February and is designed for ages 5 to 11 years, with some events for younger children. Headline performances include readings and music accompaniment from Carol Ann Duffy; a brilliant new poetry show with Brian Patten; the return of James Campbell’s hugely successful Comedy 4 Kids; magic with Paul Kieve, who worked as the magic consultant on the film Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban; interactive poetry with Murray Lachlan Young, calypso-flavoured story-telling from Jan Blake; and readings from Ginger Snaps, Cathy Cassidy’s new book.
