SEA STORM IN A TEACUP

A beautiful new Hoglets play for pre- and primary-aged children.

A mermaid is an amazing gift for a young adventurer. But what do you do when it just won’t stop growing?

A chance meeting, an act of kindness and an unusual present lead a lonely young girl on the most unexpected journey.

This new play by Gemma Curry (The Sleep Pirates) will take you on an epic adventure of mystery, magic and mermaids.

Using storytelling, music, movement and puppetry Hoglets Theatre bring this original tale of finding friendship to life for young imaginations.
