Gather round, gather round for the moon’s magical, mystical story about a tippetty-top tap dancer called Marina Skippett, whom he has been watching at night. With stunning puppetry, original live music to sing along to and tap-dancing that will make you want to stick 50p pieces to your shoes and join in, this is ‘just everything a theatre experience for children should be’ (Childplays.wordpress.com).

Brought to you by the ‘truly amazing one-woman power house’ Tessa Bide, who ‘understands children in a way that can’t be taught’ (ChildrensTheatreReviews.com). Perfect for all members of the family.

The Tap Dancing Mermaid is on at 11.05, Cairns Lecture Theatre, Summerhall, until 30th August (excl Tuesdays). Click here for more information.
