I so enjoyed the show Matchloket @matchlocetproject at The Drum, Theatre Royal Plymouth last night. Stories gathered from Jewish Communities across the country, beautifully told, with a delicious meal and conversation. @artscouncilengland.bsky.social supported.

PARENTS! 📢 Can anyone recommend illustrators or picture books that are hyper-detailed 'look at the lots of hidden stuff' books like Where's Wally or Little Dracula?
