Did you ever go to Silversands on a sunny summer’s day? Then perhaps you saw the mermaid who sang in the deep blue bay.

‘Raucous fun! Bad puns, circus tricks and goggle-eyed jellyfish abound’ The Guardian

3-8 year olds and their families will love this adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks’ hugely popular book, brought to life with beautiful puppetry and performance, and music and songs by Barb Jungr (We’re Going on a Bear Hunt).

One day the singing mermaid is tempted away from all of her sea-creature friends to join a travelling circus. The audiences love to hear her sing but the poor mermaid was tricked! Instead of the swimming pool she was promised, she is kept in a small fish tank by the wicked circus ringmaster, Sam Sly.Will she ever escape? And who will help her along the way?
