The Snail and the Whale

10 December - 5 January 2014

Tall Stories (creators of the Gruffalo and Room on the Broom stage shows) are proud to present their latest exciting collaboration with Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.

A tiny snail longs to see the world, so she hitches a lift on the tail of a humpback whale. But when the whale gets beached, how will the snail save him? Follow the tiny snail’s amazing journey, as seen through the eyes of an adventurous young girl and her seafaring father…

‘An exquisite piece of theatre… that leaves you smiling’ (The Stage)
‘An inventive and charming adaptation. **** (The List)
‘Tall Stories sets the benchmark for children’s theatre’ (The Sunday Times)

Storytelling, live music and lots of laughs, in a show for everyone aged 4 and up.

Please note that this performance is suitable for everyone aged 4 upwards, or younger at the parents discretion.
