The Snail and the Whale

CDP Kids presents Tall Stories’
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? 

A heart-warming adventure for everyone aged four and up, from CDP Kids, the team who brought you ‘The Gruffalo’ and ‘Room on the Broom’ live on stage.

Running time 55 minutes (no interval)
