What’s on?

	Stuff & Nonsense presents ‘Across the Deep Blue Sea’ 'Across the Deep Blue Sea' is the story of a little man who wakes up to find himself bobbing around in a make-shift boat in the middle of a vast ocean. For him, it’s a breeze – there are plenty of fish to keep him company, he doesn’t have to make phone calls or answer a million e-mails every day and he can sail around to his heart’s content. That is until the storms arrive… Inspired by the works of internationally renowned mime Nola Rae, French physical comedian Jacques Tati and under-sea explorer Jacques Cousteau, 'Across the Deep Blue Sea' is a theatre journey like no other – comic, touching, slightly surreal and full of inventive mechanical staging. Featuring puppetry, physical comedy and just the odd squirt of water. For families, children and adults alike, this is an enchanting and highly popular show!

A young person can book up to 6 tickets for one show at any time.
