The SAM O' SHANTY Show
Sam O' Shanty has lived his whole live at sea, ever since he first stowed awayon board ship when he were just a wee scrap of a lad. Since then he has sailed all the Seven Seas- from Devonport to Durban Bay; from Nantucket to New Guinea; from Cape Wrath to the Cape of Good Hope.
But now Sam has come ashore with his two shipmates, Davy Lad and Sonny Jim and together they have got all manner of marvellous stories to share.
Aye, there be tales of beguiling mermaids and batty sea witches. A roisterous retelling of Blackbeard's comeuppance, as well as tangled yarns of lucky escapades, hidden booty and beasties of the deep. The Sam O' Shanty show is a nautically comic entertainment for all the family. Crammed with facts, fantasy and farce! And with puppetry, storytelling and the singing of shanties tis sure to enthral and delight Huzzaaaaaaaaaar!!!
Suitable for all the family 4 yrs and up.
