Project Description
The Snail and the Whale
Jump on board for a daring journey through the deep sea, far off lands, sunny beaches and crashing waves as this magical adaptation of the award-winning picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler unfolds in spectacular Technicolor. This snail may be small, but she’s determined to see the world, so she hitches a lift on the tail of a whale. It’s an unlikely partnership, but when the whale gets into difficulties he discovers just how good a friend a snail can be… A new theatre experience for children aged 4+ with black light animation, magic, live music, breath-taking illusion and a well known, captivating story!Event Details
