Tim Hibberd will be playing the father in the UK Tour of Snail and The Whale by Tall Stories.
Join a tiny snail on her trip round the world in Tall Stories’ magical, musical adaptation of the fantastic picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.
Longing to see the world, a tiny snail hitches a lift on the tail of a humpback whale. Together they go on an amazing adventure – but when the whale gets beached, how will the snail save him? Follow the tiny snail’s exciting journey, as seen through the eyes of an adventurous young girl and her seafaring father…
Storytelling, live music and lots of laughs, in a show for everyone aged 4 and up.
Tall Stories have made an art of ¬adapting Julia Donaldson’s picture books, a source material which is already strong – if not especially long, a challenge the company have risen to by constructing a wider storyline to cleverly hang Donaldson’s tale on.
