Welcome to the quirky, silly, crazy, comical, ingenious, ridiculous, inspiring, surprising, educational, ecological world of Squashbox Theatre! The Sea Show is a quirky mix of puppet show, natural history programme and comedy cabaret. Meet crazy characters like Morwenna the ‘beautiful’ Mermaid, Ruan the Reformed Seagull and salty sea-dog Captain Pemburthy, as well as a cast of mischievous sea squirts, anemones, limpets, crabs and pilchards! Come and celebrate the sea with tall tales, fascinating facts, rhymes, riddles, live music and songs – unmissable fun for children and adults of all ages! My name is Craig Johnson and I live in Penzance, Cornwall. I am a performer, musician and puppeteer, with a humorous, relaxed and engaging style. For the last 7 years I have been a member of Kneehigh Theatre, performing in major national and international tours such as Tristan & Yseult, Cymbeline, A Matter Of Life And Death and The Bacchae, as well as small-scale village hall shows, including directing and acting in Journey To The Centre Of The Earth. As a solo artist, I perform under the name Squashbox Theatre. Squashbox Theatre produces quality performances involving puppetry, storytelling, live music and comedy for schools, theatres, village halls, festivals and events.
