Wow, what an incredible time we had tonight thanks to the Barn Theatre and Michael Morpurgo. The play was enchanting, poignant and butterfly breathtaking. As for the acting and the lion puppets... well you’ll just have to see for yourself. We got to meet the master storyteller, Michael Morpurgo and he even got us a bookshop round of applause. An extremely happy Octavia and so nice to see so many of my bookshop customers, especially Sasha James who was quite the star under the spotlight. Big thank you again to the Barn Theatre for inviting us https://barntheatre.org.uk/performances
