An Epic Family-Friendly Adventure Awaits 

From the minds of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, the award-winning writers behind the children's fiction phenomenon The Gruffalo, comes The Snail and The Wale, an all new animal adventure that springs from the page and onto the stage for a very special Christmas run at London's Apollo Theatre. 

Oliver Award-nominated children's theatre specialists Tall Stories bring the popular picture book to life with music, kid-friendly humour and vivid storytelling. Join the story's tiny hero snail as he sets off on an adventure of a lifetime - longing to see the world, he hitches a ride on the tail of a friendly whale, and together they see all of earth's wonders from volcanoes to icebergs and all the fascinating animals in between! Snail may feel small in the grand scheme of things, but he comes to the rescue when his new friend is in trouble, proving that though he but little, he is fierce!
