THE Sea Show, which is coming to the Minack on December 30, is a quirky and hilarious mix of puppet show, natural history and comedy cabaret.

The show is the creation of Squashbox Theatre’s Craig Johnson, an actor, musician and puppeteer, and long-standing member of Cornwall’s renowned Kneehigh Theatre.

Meet crazy characters like Morwenna the ‘beautiful’ mermaid, Ruan the reformed seagull and salty seadog Captain Pemburthy, as well as a cast of mischievous sea-squirts, anemones, limpets, crabs and pilchards.

The Sea Show celebrates the sea with tall tales, silly slapstick, fantastic facts, live music and songs - its fun for children and adults of all ages.

On the Squashbox website, Craig said: “I have been performing The Sea Show for several years, and it has become a firm favourite with children and adults of all ages, who love the blend of ingenious puppetry, informal performance style and gently subversive sense of humour!”
