The fishy tale of the Mermaid who dreams of becoming immortal. But how ? She's told the only way, is by having a human fall in love with her. Difficult if you have no legs. So she goes on a perilous journey to the dark and dangerous home of the evil sea witch where she has to exchange her voice for legs. See her brush with rollicking, roaring Pirates; witness her disappointment, when the Prince she loves, marries someone else, and her triumph at being granted her wish because of her goodness. Suitable for the whole school (NOT just for Infants). Hans Christian Andersen's tale is transformed for the stage in this imaginative BITESIZE production with songs, full undersea set, fishy costumes, lights and sound and is sure to provide entertainment for everyone.

(The play also raises a number of PHSE issues which the enterprising teacher can expand on in class; leaving home; runaways; ambition; dreams; death; afterlife; selfishness; alien cultures; the importance of family.....)
