Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia: Goodnight Moon & The Runaway Bunny February 28, 2009

Mermaid Theatre's unique adaptations of children's literature have delighted more than four million young people on four continents. The company ranks among North America's most respected theatres for the young, and has won widespread recognition for its important ambassadorial role.

Margaret Wise Brown’s sixty-year-old classic, Goodnight Moon, is a celebration of familiar nighttime rituals, while the equally popular The Runaway Bunny’s pretend tale of leaving home evokes reassuring responses from his loving mum. Both feature endearing rabbit characters, and the soothing rhythms of bunny banter and dream-like imagery never fail to infuse young readers with a reassuring sense of security. Mermaid’s staged adaptation brings a new sense of appreciation to stories and images that have delighted several generations.
