Naturalist Steve Backshall makes a splash in Basingstoke

Steve Backshall will be bringing the sea to the stage with his new show ‘Ocean’, promising to make a splash with audiences across the UK, and coming to The Anvil, Basingstoke, on April 19.

Ocean is Backshall's love letter to the most exciting environment on our planet – and a great way to learn more about what we need to do to save our seas.

Stunts, experiments, props, cutting edge science and big screen footage from his two decades in TV, will all help him bring the icons of the Big Blue to life. From Great whites to Great whales; seals to sardine shoals; Orca to the oddities of the deep: this is a fantastic opportunity for all the family to dive deep into the wonderful world beneath the waves.

Backshall said: "It’s been five years since I last did a tour here in the UK, and we will be back bigger and bolder than ever. This time the show is full of stunts, tricks and experiments, looking to bring marine themes to life on stage.”
