Review by Arna Eyers-White | 28 February 2022

From way back when boomers were babies, to those born in the 20-teens, Roald Dahl books have featured on the bedside bookshelf - or, judging by the excited responses from the audience, in the toilet!

Nerine Skinner and Robbie Capaldi as Brenda and Terry respectively are members of The Ancient Guild of Tale Tenders. If you’ve read/seen Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, you’ll get the gist of this literary preservation, although the Tale Tenders are not so dystopian. For them, forgetting is the danger. The Tenders must read the books daily, keeping them alive and on the page, preserving them for generations to come.
