"a glorious hour of theatre for (the) young..., packed with fun, imagination, and the fierce passion for storytelling...”
– The Scotsman
Masters of immersive theatre for families, the UK’s Punchdrunk Enrichment makes its highly anticipated Asia debut, plunging young audiences into a spellbinding world.
At 314 floors high and with 78 spiral side departments, The Lost Lending Library houses the largest collection of books and stories in the world. Tales of all shapes and sizes are crammed together on its shelves with new adventures bursting into life from their covers.
Inside, a new library apprentice eagerly awaits your arrival. But the library has a habit of playing tricks and things often don’t go as planned. They need your help to learn how to believe in themselves, and to keep collecting new stories.
Come on a highly engaging journey that celebrates the search for knowledge and trying your best.
These special sessions are exclusively for adults who want to experience the production with curiosity and joy! Please note that The Lost Lending Library will be presented in its original form, as created for children, without adjustments for adult audiences.
Come with a sense of child-like wonder and immerse yourself in the magic.

Punchdrunk Enrichment
Punchdrunk Enrichment makes immersive theatre for schools, families and communities.
You’ll find us in classrooms, theatres and warehouses across the United Kingdom and beyond, sharing joy and wonder.
In a complicated world, we believe our imaginations can help us create change. Our projects and productions unlock creativity. We motivate children to get writing, reading and sharing their experiences.
Our family theatre productions invite you to inhabit our stories. Whether it’s taking a seat in a Nanny Lacey’s comfy living room or discovering an epic travelling library, children always play a lead role in the adventures we take you on.
In schools, our immersive learning projects take the principles of immersive theatre into education settings, driving learning, boosting engagement and opening up a world of possibility in pupils. Not just for children, we also give teachers the chance to re-fuel their own imaginations with approaches that can apply across the curriculum.
We are dedicated to opening up our practice: our masterclass programme offers the chance to learn first-hand from our creatives, online or in person. Proudly rooted in Brent, London, we offer opportunities to local artists and creatives to exchange ideas. Our talent development programme is also focused on growing the next generation of theatre workers, nurturing skills with hands-on opportunities.
Come on a journey with us...
