Produced by theatre company Nonsense Room Productions, the creative team behind The Hairy Maclary show and You Choose, Shark in The Park promises lots of laughs and delight as all three masterpieces from the well-loved book Series (Shark in the Park, Shark in the Dark and Shark in the Park on a Windy Day are presented in one fell swoop.

You’ll be tapping those toes, singing along and laughing out loud in this shark-tacular, fin-tastic family musical, based on main character Timothy Pope. He’s going on an adventure with his Elvis-loving dad to test his new birthday telescope, and on their way they meet lots of quirky characters… yes, that is a tap-dancing seagull, (or is it?!) And what’s that he’s spotted? Is it a fin? Is it a Shark… in the Park?! Join Timothy and his dad and find out for yourselves.

The hilarious Scottish cast, wicked live music and songs to sing along to, as well as immense audience interaction make this a must-see show for families, with laughter and joy guaranteed. You’ll go home humming to the songs you’ve heard and beaming from ear to ear, as well as making brand-new memories with your little ones.
