'They say you can get lost in a good book. But it's worse to get lost in a bad one...'
From award-winning New Zealand company Trick of the Light Theatre comes a story of boundless enchantment. An old man sits down to read the tale of a 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 full of mystery, magic and mayhem.
