The tale of an old fisherman is being brought lovingly to life courtesy of Lempen Puppets, at West Nottinghamshire College’s Create Theatre this October.

In The Fisherman and The Pearl, McManus, an old fisherman from Fisherman’s Cove has seen it all. When he was young the fishing was good and the sea teaming with life.

Now he’s sad and grumpy and spends his days lamenting on the rocks about the good old days. But his granddaughter Jo has found something at the beach. A pearl – and all may not be lost.

This heart-warming story comes to Create Theatre on Sunday 11 October at 2pm and shows a fisherman’s love, and a precious gift that gives him knowledge of the creatures below the waves.

To purchase tickets for this comic, tragic, yet hopeful tale, call 01623 413363 or visit www.createtheatre.co.uk Tickets cost £8 for adults and £6 for children.

The show features puppets, masks and storytelling suitable for people aged over five.
