Ahoy! Ballad of the Time Kraken – Salford Arts Theatre

A confusion of school disco music, playground lyrics, art room props, nativity choreography and dress-up box costumes make this poorly performed, barely-plotted absurdity of a musical unfit for performance in front of a paying audience in its current state.

You wouldn’t swab the poop deck with this two-and-a-half-hour shamble.

‘Ahoy! Ballad of the Time Kraken’ continues at Salford Arts Centre until 29^th July with tickets available from https://manchester.ssboxoffice.com/events/ahoy-ballad-of-the-time-kraken/
