mermaid

One day, the singing mermaid is tempted away from all of her sea creature friends and her peaceful home at Silversands to go away and join a travelling circus.

The audience love to hear her sing but, instead of the swimming pool that she was promised, she is kept in a small tank by the wicked circus master Sam Sly.

Will she ever escape, and who will help her along the way?

The show is based on the original book by Julia Donaldson, with illustrations created by Sheffield-based Lydia Monks.

The Singing Mermaid is described as the perfect treat for little ones this Christmas.

The show was adapted by Samantha Lane, with music and lyrics written by the singer, Barb Jungr.

The show's running time is about 55 minutes, with no interval.

The Singing Mermaid runs in the Crucible Studio Theatre until December 30.
