Family Christmas pantomime of The Little Mermaid, written by Tom Whalley and presented by Dynamique Arts.
The Little Mermaid is coming to The Point Events Venue in Sunderland on Saturday 5 December, part of the city's Christmas panto season. It's a family production, so it's one of those afternoons you take the kids to, with the usual panto mix of wicked villains, plenty of laughs, and a festive finale to wrap it all up.
This version is presented by Dynamique Arts and written by Tom Whalley, who's put his own spin on the story we all know. It's a proper panto, which means it's as much about the audience as the stage — expect the kind of back-and-forth and crowd participation that makes these things work, rather than just sitting and watching. If you've never been to a panto before, that's exactly what it's for: getting the whole family involved in the chaos.

The show runs at The Point Events Venue, over at Holmeside, SR1 3HY, in the heart of town. It's a matinee, starting at 12:15, so it's an easy one to fit into a Saturday afternoon without taking up the whole day. Tickets start from £15.00 and are available through Skiddle, so you can get yours sorted well before December rolls around.
