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, an adaption of the hugely popular picture book The Snail and The Whale.

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.

Enjoy storytelling, live music and lots of laughs, in a show for everyone aged four and up.

Tall Stories’ unique brand of physical story theatre has toured from London England to London Ontario, and from London’s West End to Broadway’s New Victory, taking in Ireland, Poland and Asia en route.

The company was founded in 1997 by directors Olivia Jacobs and Toby Mitchell and is a registered charity.
