Mali a'r Môr / Mali & the Sea 

Touring 2025

.40mins, suitable for ages 3+, 

“Mewn a mas, mewn a mas”: the sea brings things, the sea takes things away. Mali knows this. Her beloved island home is full of treasures tossed up on the tide. Every day, Mali, with her little doll Megan by her side, watches and waits for Dada’s fishing boat to come home. But one day, the sea turns stormy, and Dada’s boat doesn’t appear. Can Mali and Megan find a way of bringing him home? A tale of the wonders of the waves for little folk, told in Welsh and English, through song, story, and puppetry.

 

Based on the much-loved Molly books by Malachy Doyle, for ages 3+.
