Once upon a time, in the depths of the ocean, a mermaid princess is singing, and a young prince is drowning… she saves him… he kisses her… I love you, you love me… the mermaid exchanges her tail and sublime voice for two legs, but the prince, alas, marries another!

Combining music, dance, physical performances and ravishing costumes, Kismet’s simply staged and brilliantly inventive style will transport you from a shipwreck in the depths of the ocean to a prince’s castle, from a sea witch’s cavern to a cloud of sea mist lifting to the skies.

From the company who brought us The Snow Queen last Easter, Teatro Kismet’s The Mermaid Princess is a rare and wonderful opportunity to experience world-class family theatre like no other. Don’t miss this chance for a truly extraordinary experience that promises to make a huge impression on all who encounter it.

“Teatro Kismet is a wonderful Italian company that constantly creates visually ravishing work for family audiences… The result is work that is full of wonder and doesn’t patronise the audience.” - Lyn Gardner, The Guardian

HERCULES
A riotous romp for ages 7+. A new play by Helen Eastman.

Hercules is not having a good day. If only his father, Zeus, could see beyond his earthly shortcomings… Not the most organised of super heroes and a bit of a disaster zone, our Hercules is a powerful force of nature. He doesn't know his own strength, but maybe that's what makes him (half) human after all. An uproarious adventure through Hercules' loves and labours - monsters, magicians, music and mayhem - a carnival for all the family.
