The Little Mermaid

22 – 29 April | The Mack | Musical Theatre

Based on the original classic story and the beloved 1989 Disney animation of the same name, this is the tale of a mermaid who, obsessed with all of the ‘stuff’ that sinks into the sea, yearns for a life in the world above the water’s surface… This inventive and surprising production for all the family features the iconic songs ‘Part of Your World’ and ‘Under the Sea’.

Oh What a Lovely War

15 – 20 May | The Mack | Acting

A modern classic, this satirical play with music focuses on the First World War – a stripped back, raw but raucously playful tribute to the original development of the piece first created under Joan Littlewood’s direction in 1963.
