Pass the Spoon Libretto

Published by Hayward Books, and designed by Hato Press with vivid blue page edging - this beautifully printed Libretto for Shrigley's 'Sort of' opera is a must for fans and admirers of his work. It features original text and 10 new illustrations.

Pass the Spoon, a ‘sort-of-opera’ written by Shrigley, featuring TV chefs June Spoon and Philip Fork, a manic-depressive egg and a host of other surreal characters. The libretto is published on the occasion of performances taking place at Edinburgh’s Traverse Theatre, and the Southbank Centre, London. Featuring ten brand new illustrations and original text, this is the first-ever libretto written by David Shrigley and a truly unique addition to the popular titles already available on this acclaimed artist. The libretto is introduced by the artist, composer David Fennessy and director Nicholas Bone.
