Captain Sandy & The Sea Monster
In the little village of Rocky Snore, all the fisherfolk are in a mess, where have all the fish gone? There are no fish to fish! Join Captain Sandy on her adventure to try and find out what happened! A brand new show by Puppet Theatre Barge, expect stormy seas, sea monsters, grumpy fishermen and seaweed cake, this is a fun-filled musical adventure on the high seas for all the family!
Duration: 45mins no interval
Recommended for ages 4-10
This show has a storyline that can be followed and enjoyed by 4 and 5 year olds, but also uses more complex ideas, humour, dialogue and song lyrics that older children and adults will get more out of. There is nothing really scary in this show but it does use dramatic music and lighting, for example the theatre will go dark during the performance which some children might find unsettling and the characters face some perils during the performance.
All ages are welcome at our shows and age ranges can only be a rough guide, but please bear in mind that Captain Sandy and the Sea Monster was not specially designed for under-fours. If you do bring under fours to the show, we ask that you take them out if they become upset or distracted so as not to effect the enjoyment of the rest of the audience.
