Hull Truck Theatre have announced the cast for their Early Years Christmas production in the Godber Studio next month. Audiences are invited to join The Little Mermaid on an under the sea adventure in Tom Saunders’ brand new adaptation of the classic fairytale.
The production comes from the same team as Rapunzel, Princess and the Frog and Jack, Mum and the Beanstalk and is set to be a heart-warming, action packed adventure full of songs, games and audience interaction. Designed especially for children agree three to six and their families, this production will see Carol, a friendly, fun and inquisitive little mermaid go on a journey of self-discovery – helped along the way by her old pal Finn the fish and new-found friend Charlie, a human from the world above the waves.
Coral, The Little Mermaid, will be played by Elizabeth Green, whilst local actor Alex Fairweather will take on the roles of Charlie and the Sea Witch.
Tom Saunders, Writer and Director of The Little Mermaid, and Associate Director at Hull Truck Theatre said, “Our studio Christmas production this year is going to be magical! I can’t wait for audiences to see our amazing set and puppets, hear the beautiful songs and meet our fantastic cast. I really hope families come away from the theatre, as they do every year, full of festive cheer and having had a gorgeous time.”
All performances will have a laid-back attitude to noise and movement in the theatre space. A British Sign Language (BSL) will take place on 20 December at 1.15pm.
Tickets for The Little Mermaid are now on sale and can be purchased online or by phoning the box office. The production opens on 11 December 2025 and runs until 4 January 2026.
