Join a tiny snail on her trip round the world in Tall Stories’ magical musical production inspired by the bestselling picturebook The Snail and the Whale by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, published by Macmillan Children’s Books.

The 2018 UK tour coincides with the 15th anniversary of the publication of The Snail and the Whale which is also being marked with a special edition of the book.

A tiny snail longs to see the world, so she hitches a lift on the tail of a humpback whale. Together they go on an amazing journey, experiencing sharks and penguins, icebergs and volcanoes. But when the whale gets beached, how will the tiny snail save him?

Tall Stories’ production is influenced by the work of Storybook Soldiers, who help British military personnel serving abroad to record bedtime story CDs for their children back home. The amazing journey of the tiny snail is seen through the eyes of a very adventurous young girl – who’d love to be going round the world with her seafaring father...

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

‘This production has real charm.’ The Scotsman declared, awarding the show five stars.

The Snail and the Whale will be on stage at Malvern Theatres on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 3 and 4. To book, cal the box office on 01684 892277 or visit malvern-theatres.co.uk
