“Delightful and entrancing. The music was glorious. It was so immersive.” - Audience Member
Based on the beloved 1984 children’s book written by award-winning author Margaret Wild and illustrated by Jane Tanner, There’s a Sea in My Bedroom captures the magic of a child’s fantasy world.
This immersive and theatrical performance, adapted and directed by Tim McGarry, weaves together captivating storytelling with an original score from Australian composer Paul Stanhope, performed live by an ACO string quintet. This enchanting production, perfect for young audiences, touches on themes of joy, sadness and fear, while promising laughter.
The ACO is proud to present our very first ACO Families production, premiered in 2019, returning to ACO Pier 2/3 by popular demand this in the Spring school holidays.
