Presented by Watershed Productions

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.

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?

With a cast of three talented performers, enchanting puppets by Lyndie Wright and music & songs by Barb Jungr (We’re Going On A Bear Hunt, Michael Rosen’s Chocolate Cake), this stage adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks’ much-loved story is a perfect piece of theatre for 3 to 8 year-olds and their families.
