A new folk musical by British Youth Music Theatre, performed at Birmingham Hippodrome.

The story is set in Blackwater Cove during a rare tidal eclipse. For one week, selkies from the sea can walk on land and live among humans.

As the full moon approaches, they must decide whether to return to the sea or stay on land. The story explores identity, belonging and the pull between different ways of living.

The production uses folk melodies, nautical ballads and shanties to bring mythology into a modern setting through live performance and music.
