The Sea Show

Details: A delightful family show by the brilliant Squashbox Theatre

Dive into The Sea Show, a wonderfully eccentric blend of puppetry, seaside storytelling and playful comedy that brings the ocean to life in the most imaginative way.

Meet a whole crew of colourful seaside characters, including Morwenna the not‑so‑modest mermaid, Ruan the once‑troublesome seagull with a new outlook on life, and the rugged Captain Pemburthy. They’re joined by a lively assortment of cheeky sea creatures—from sprightly squirts and anemones to crabs, limpets and pilchards!

Join the adventure as the show splashes together tall tales, slapstick humour, fascinating marine facts, music and songs. It’s a joyful celebration of the coast that keeps both children and adults thoroughly entertained.

Beloved by audiences of all ages, The Sea Show is praised for its clever puppetry, relaxed performance style and gently mischievous humour.

Perfect for ages 4+ and their families.
