About

Tall Stories presents The Snail and The Whale, a play with music inspired by the book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.

Join an adventurous young girl and her seafaring father as they reimagine the story of a tiny snail's incredible trip around the world, inspired by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's much-loved picture book.

Longing to see the world, a tiny sea snail hitches a lift on the tail of a great big, grey-blue humpback whale. Together they go on an amazing journey, brought vividly to life through live music, storytelling and lots of laughs – but when the whale gets beached, how will the snail save him?

This heart-warming adventure for everyone aged four and up is brought to you by Tall Stories, the Olivier Award-nominated company that turned 'The Gruffalo' and 'Room on the Broom' into theatre spectaculars.
