Be dazzled by drains, ponder over pipes,

wonder at water. Professor H20 (alias Nick Crump)

is here to shower you with watery wisdom

mixed with bubbles of musical plumbing!

On Thursday 5 July St Michael’s school, Lyme Regis and Mrs Ethelstones School, from Uplyme are bringing all of their older children to the Marine Theatre for a bit of a splash! Prof H20 alias Nick Crump is bringing his popular wacky show to the theatre on the evening of Thursday 5 July and this special matinee is being sponsored by Pecorama and matched by Arts and Business in the Strike a Match programme.

The effervescent Professor H20 is on a mission to dazzle you with drains, ponder over pipes and wonder at water. Tearing himself away from his research work into ‘backwash sluicing’ at Oxbow University, the Professor is ready to shower you with watery wisdom.  Amazing unplugged facts about water and pipes mixed with bubbles of music from his unique musical plumbing. This whirlpool of information and entertainment is flushed with urgency and humour. Immerse yourself in his show to understand how valuable and essential water is for all life on earth and our need to conserve it. On Thursday evening at 7.30 pm children can come to the evening show at the Marine Theatre for £6.00 and adults are £8.00. Tickets are from the Lyme TIC 01297 442394.

The origin of this show was the Common Ground project of 1998-2001 called Confluence. The mission was to raise the profile of water through creative and musical engagement with the local population. Music and songs were written and performed as the creative team followed the River Stour from Stourhead to Christchurch. Choirs and music groups were formed. One group was ‘Pipeworks’, the brainchild of composer and musician, Karen Wimhurst. Nick Crump invented his musical plumbing for ‘Pipeworks’. Prof H20 now continues this important message into schools, village halls and festivals across the country.

Suitable for all ages.

WARNING: singing in the bath will never be the same again.
