Angel Heart & Rattlebox Theatre: Sam O Shanty

Sam O’ Shanty has lived his whole life at sea, ever since he first stowed a’board ship when he was just a wee scrap of a lad.

Since then, he has sailed all the Seven Seas, from Devonport to Durban Bay; from Nantucket to New Guinea; from Cape Wrath to the Cape of Good Hope. But now Sam has come ashore with his two shipmates, Davy Lad and Sonny Jim and together they have got all manner of marvellous tales to share!

Aye, there’ll be stories of beguiling mermaids and batty sea witches, a boisterous retelling of the dastardly Blackbeard’s comeuppance, and tangled yarns of hidden booty and beasties of the deep. This nautically comic show for all the family is crammed with facts, fantasy, and farce! Alongside James and Dave’s usual flair for puppetry, silliness and storytelling there’ll be the singing of a sea shanty or two – so come one, come all… Huzzar!
