Somewhere out there, in the murky no man's land between reality and 'are you pulling my leg?' there's a mechanical island inhabited entirely by dads. Bodged together out of mangled metal and broken dreams, dad island is a flawed coping mechanism that barely manages to hold itself together. Then one stormy night, a tiny barnacle encrusted bottle floats into the harbour with a crumpled note inside which reads, 'remember me?'

Exquisitely rendered and darkly hilarious, The Ballad of the Underwater Daughter is a modern-day fairy tale told using a skip-load of puppets, props and machines. Perfect for Halloween, this is a show of unhinged puppetry for adults and older children.
