The Little Mermaid

You don’t have to be big to make a big difference.

She is just a small fish in a huge sea, but the Little Mermaid is determined to reach out to the human world to save her watery home from the damage done by mankind. A caring Prince appears to be just the human to help. But she will have to sacrifice her voice to the Sea-Witch in order to reach him.

Will she save the oceans in time? Or will she become seduced by the shiny, man-made world above the waves?

Co-director of this year’s West End sensation Death of a Salesman, Miranda Cromwell makes a welcome return to Bristol Old Vic with The Little Mermaid this Christmas. Using circus, dance and live music, Hans Christian Andersen’s enchanting fairy tale is reimagined in this coming-of-age story about hope, love and how every voice can make a difference.
