Julia Donaldson
The Singing Mermaid
★★★★☆ Tuneful:
All the delight of the original picture book story of the singing mermaid who gets swept away in the circus is brought to the stage in this puppet adaptation from the Little Angel Theatre. And more.
Stick Man
★★★★☆ Cleverly engaging:
There’s a verve and vim to the latest production of Stick Man, the adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s picture storybook at the Paradiso Spiegeltent in St Andrew Square until the New Year.
The Scarecrows’ Wedding
✭✭✭✩✩ Quite funny
Junior review by Cora Dibdin:
I enjoyed this play but found it very hard to review. The play is from the book by Julia Donaldson. It is about two scarecrows called Betty O’Barley and Harry O’Hay getting married.

This show had the real Julia Donaldson. She brought her husband Malcolm and sister Mary and there were two other people, James and Joanna.
