Hull Truck Theatre presents

The Little Mermaid

Written and Directed by Tom Saunders

Join Coral and her friends on an under the sea adventure this festive season.

Coral is a friendly, fun and inquisitive little mermaid… but she’s a mermaid with a problem. Whilst she loves nothing more than nattering away with her family and closest pal Finn the fish, when it comes to talking to new people… something strange happens… she completely clams up.

But can a chance meeting with a human from above the waves bring Coral out of her shell? Or will she fall hook, line and sinker for the sea witch’s trickery and never find her voice?

Exploring themes of friendship, courage and confidence, this heartwarming adventure is a modern-day twist on a classic story. From the team that brought you Rapunzel, Princess and the Frog and Jack, Mum and The Beanstalk, join Hull Truck Theatre for another magical festive production. Specially designed for young audiences and their families.

This production took place in Hull Truck Theatre’s Godber Studio from 11th December 2025 until 4th January 2026.
