M6 Theatre: Pebble On The Beach
Tue 12 – Sat 16 Apr 2022 | 11am, 2pm
Welcome to Sandyway Bay!
Everyone’s welcome on Al’s beach. He rents deck chairs, sells beach toys and generally keeps things ship shape. Samantha has decided to have a day at the seaside. She is shy, reserved and cautious. Pebble (the tortoise) is Samantha’s best friend.
When Al lets curiosity get the better of him, Pebble goes missing. But in looking for her much-loved friend, Samantha comes out of her shell and discovers the freedom to be herself.
Featuring a lively mix of dancing, singing and comic puppetry, Pebble On The Beach magically transports you to a day at the seaside – a beach hut filled with treasures, sandcastles, seagulls and the waves lapping on the shore – to tell a heart-warming tale that helps us all feel safe in the world and know that we matter. A characteristically joyous and energetic performance by Rochdale’s ‘excellent M6’ (Lyn Gardner, Stagedoor).

Relaxed Environment Performances:
These are perfect for anyone who would benefit from a more relaxed performance environment. These performances allow for noise and movement in the auditorium, re-entry when needed and a chill-out space for patrons who may need time away from the performance. A Relaxed Environment Performance is perfect for anyone who benefits from being able to make a noise, leave and return to their seat or access the toilets during the performance. Please note that Relaxed Environment Performances have no adjustments made to the performance so they may not be suitable for customers with sensory sensitivities.
