The Water Babies

Synopsis

Charles Kingsley's well-loved story of The Water Babies is enchantingly brought to life in this adaptation by Willis Hall.

The tale of young Tom, apprentice to the unpleasant chimney-sweep Mr Grimes, and his underwater journey to the End-Of-Nowhere is interspersed with delightful songs by John Cooper.

In the original professional touring production, puppets were used to represent The Water Babies and underwater creatures, but small children could be used to play these parts in, for example, schools' productions.|6 women, 3 men
