Tomorrow would've marked the debut of this year's interactive play from Unbound Theatre & Aylesbury Town Council. Though the play itself is on hold, Professor Chronomier still needs your help! The brilliant Jon Scrivens has created a colouring sheet of his artwork for the Prof's audio adventure 'The Tudor Assassin' and we want you to join in with a special colouring challenge. Print off the image and colour it in (or download it and colour it in digitally!) then send us a photo of your artwork - we'll put them all together in a special Chronomier Collage! And if you need something to listen to whilst you're colouring, stream and download 'The Chronicles of Professor Chronomier' for free by clicking here .
