About

Adapted from Michael Rosen’s award-winning book, Sad Book is a visually inventive, moving story of navigating complex emotions amid everyday life - told through theatre, dance and animation with stunning original music.

In this personal story of loss, a father explores the disconnection between what we feel, what we show, and the different ways we deal with sadness.

In partnership with Child Bereavement UK, join 201 Dance Company and TOM to celebrate the official launch of the UK tour. All tickets to Sad Book include access to a post-show discussion with the cast and creative team plus special guests.
