Fred and the Fantastic Tub-Tub

When Fred's green-fingered grandfather shows her a map to the mysterious island of Papa Nupi, he leads her on a Summer holiday adventure that might just save the planet.

"Beautifully topical, Fred and the Fantastic Tub-Tub is a thrilling and wondrous adventure, where the power of music and nature inspire us all to make the world a better place." Dame Judi Dench

Zeb Soanes narrates the work with Orpheus Sinfonia, conducted by Thomas Carroll in this special pilot performance for World Book Day, prior to the book's publication by Graffeg on the 10th March. Fred and the Fantastic Tub-Tub is a brand-new brilliant collaboration between author (Zeb Soanes, BBC Newsreader and author of Gaspard the Fox) and composer (James Marangone, EMI Composer, Media features on BBC and ITV). It entwines contemporary writing in a cinematic score, and is inherently engaging and topical, addressing issues of acceptance, environmental-responsibility and resilience.
