At Sea

A fantastical puppet adventure for all! A sailor loses their way after having their heart compass stolen. Their quest to get it back takes them through a coral reef, a sirens lair and to the very bottom of the ocean. Will they ever find their way back to the surface? Or will they end up trapped in the belly of the beast who steals sailors hearts? Featuring stunning projections and original music, this life affirming family show is an uplifting, non-verbal tale of a sailor’s triumph over darkness. About Polka Theatre We opened our doors in 1979 as the UK’s first theatre venue dedicated exclusively to children. We deliver a year-round programme of exceptional and exciting new theatre and creative learning opportunities for 0-12 year olds. Alongside this, we showcase international productions, offer a home to touring children’s theatre companies and support diverse artists to develop new work for children. We produce between 7-10 productions each year, with selected shows touring to children across the UK and internationally in schools, libraries, community and theatre spaces. Polka has always led the way in inclusive practice. We were the first venue to create what we now widely know as a Relaxed Performance back in 2006 and continue to include a range of accessible performances in our year-round programme.
