Theatre for all the family, in this delightful puppet performance.

Amongst drifting waterweed and ancient moss-covered rocks, a little watersprite awakens.

Down here the pond is teeming with life – newts and snails and little silver fish dart around, busy with their business. However, strange things have started to enter the pond. Things that crinkle and clatter and clutter up the pond. So much of it that there is no more space to swim and slither around.

Sophie Nüzel’s work for children and families uses storytelling, dance and puppetry to tell a tale of our time, a story that shows even the smallest people can make a big difference.

“Stories of a Watersprite is a high quality show which will appeal to all ages. With its themes of pollution and community action, Sophie has skillfully created an underwater world which is big on heart and imagination. With its thoughtful design and evocative music, this is highly recommended for your family programme.”

Jeanette Hinton, Performance Producer, Pavilion Dance SouthWest
