The magical power of books to create new worlds will be explored in Footscray next week when West Independent Theatre delivers The Bookworm.

The Melbourne Fringe production at Bluestone Church Arts Space runs from September 16-20. Tickets cost $11-20. Bookings: melbournefringe.com.au or 9660 9666.
