About this show

The River Tyne has overflowed its banks. Mysterious creatures and unknown forces are unleashed. The people of Tyneside must search their souls and work together to find out how to bring the world back into balance.

​

Through giant puppets, costumed ensembles, live music and landscape spectacles, this live, one-weekend-only performance will be a memorable outdoor experience for extraordinary times.

​

This production has been specially commissioned for Newcastle Puppetry Festival 2021. Made possible through funding from Arts Council England and the Community Foundation.

3. SUBSIDISED BUBBLE
   (1 to 6 people, including kids and carers) is £0 or by donation.
   
   If you can't afford the full price ticket for a bubble, please select the Subsidised Bubble ticket option and donate whatever you can. Any amount makes a difference! All we ask is that you be honest with yourself and your financial situation when selecting this bubble. Choosing a free ticket or giving a smaller donation when you can afford full price means we may not be able to cover all the costs of this event. Social distancing is possible within the bubbles.
