Across the Deep Blue Sea
Suitable for Small-scale and Rural Touring, March - June 2010.
A tiny boat, a little lost man and the great wide ocean.
How did he get there, how can he get home, and why do those fish keep biting him on the bottom!
Created and performed by Marc Parrett
Directed by Niki McCretton
Music by Sarah Moody
Sound design by Gwen Thomson
Animation by Spike Golding
A 50 minute show for children aged 3 and over and their families.
Featuring puppetry, physical comedy and just the odd squirt of water!
Across the Deep Blue Sea is the story of a little man who wakes up to find himself bobbing around in a make-shift boat somewhere in the middle of a vast ocean. For you or I that might be disastrous, but for him it’s a breeze! There are plenty of fish to keep him company, he doesn’t have to make phone calls or answer a million e-mails every day and he can sail around to his heart’s content.
That is until the storms arrive!!!
Inspired by the works of internationally renowned mime Nola Rae, French physical comedian Jaques Tati and under-.sea explorer Jaques Cousteau, Across the Deep Blue Sea is a theatre journey like no other – comic, touching, slightly surreal and full of inventive mechanical staging!
Stuff and Nonsense Theatre Company produce shows that are entertaining, beautiful and a whole lot of fun for adults and children alike. Across the Deep Blue Sea is the latest show to be produced in partnership with Salisbury Playhouse, with assistance from Bridport Arts Centre, and
follows in the footsteps of The Little Red Hen (also touring in Spring 2010 to middle-scale venues), The Enormous Turnip and Three Little Pigs.
“We programmed Across the Deep Blue Sea
to 600 school children over three performances.
The children in the performance I saw roared
with laughter but they also were quiet and
concentrated when this simple and gentle story
required them to listen.The use of live music, puppets and a simple set were lovely. What I particularly admire about Stuff and Nonsense is the quality of the productions and the attention to detail, the humour and the professional approach to all elements from marketing to technical support.” Paula Hammond, Merlin Theatre
