Event Information
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 Tall Stories, the Olivier Award-nominated company that brought you ‘The Gruffalo’ and ‘Room on the Broom’ live on stage.
“There’s real charm in this production”. ★★★★★ The Scotsman
“Faultless family fare”★★★★★ WhatsonStage.com
“Captivating, inventive storytelling along with beautiful live music and songs-it's highly recommended that you climb aboard and set sail!”★★★★★ Edinburgh Festivals for Kids
“It’s ingenious, nattily staged, and like the little snail at the heart of the story has big ambitions and wide horizons. Very nice.” The Guardian

Relaxed Performances are open to everyone but particularly support children with additional needs. They are primarily designed to support people with autism, learning difficulties, or other sensory and communication needs by providing a more relaxed environment in which to experience a show. At a Relaxed Performance it's OK to move around, make noise, or to leave the auditorium.
We provide a free Visual Story to help you prepare for the visit, which is usually available one week before the Relaxed Performance date on the show performance page.
