THE enchanting story of The Little Mermaid is set to be told through ballet at the Wyvern Theatre.

Join Ballet Theatre UK on this dramatic re-telling of Hans Christian Andersen’s all-time favourite story of The Little Mermaid, who falls in love with a human prince and gives up everything to win his love.

The kind-hearted Little Mermaid rescues the Prince during a storm at sea, and begins a journey that takes her far from her home beneath the waves.

Determined to pursue her love on to the shore she makes a bargain with an evil sea witch, but it comes at a heavy price.

Ballet Theatre UK’s charming and poignant ballet explores the nature of longing, how making choices have lasting consequences and how goodness can be rewarded in unexpected ways.

The Little Mermaid is the perfect school holiday treat for everyone who loves ballet, romance and classic stories.

Performances at the Wyvern are at 7.30pm on April 8, April 9 and April 10. There is also a performance at 2.30pm on April 10.

For tickets, which are from £18.50 or £15 for children, call 01793 524481 or visit wyverntheatre.org.uk.
