Description
In this delightful family show, storytelling and music combine to create an enchanting performance, evoking Scotland's northern seashores. The Wee Seal is the true tale of a seal born in the storyteller’s garden, while The Selkie Girl is a retelling of the much loved magical selkie myth, blending fiddle music and traditional storytelling to create the atmosphere of the sea and shore. Based on two of Janis Mackay’s much-loved books, The Wee Seal, and The Selkie Girl (Floris Books), and brought to life with storytelling, movement and music. 'A gem of a show' (Primary Times).Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.
