When we were young, sticks were swords, chocolate was currency, and we all had the power to change the world.

Clyde the jellyfish is on a quest to find a forever friend, in a home being polluted by the world above. When he mistakes a plastic bag named Bubbles for a total jellybabe, will they discover that a life in plastic is not so fantastic?

Jam Jar Theatre Company presents a tentacle-tapping, puppetry musical, for children and adults, friends and anemones, for our world and the generation inheriting its issues. You’ll be ten-tickled pink!
