Having worked with Christopher Brookes over the last few years I have always been impressed with his passion and professionalism. The quality of the work he presents has always been excellent and the ability to make the stories we know, and love come to life on stage with music and puppets has delighted our audiences. His dedication and hard work are clearly aligned to bringing theatre to as many people as possible. I look forward to working closely with him in years to come and watching how his work develops and expands their work in the future.
