Cahoots NI presents a magical adaptation of 'The Snail and the Whale' by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.

     The sea snail slithered all over the rock and gazed at the sea and the ships

     in the dock.

     And as she gazed she sniffed and sighed.

     'The sea is deep and the world is wide!

     How i long to sail!' said the tiny snail.

     A new theatre experience for young children with black light

     animation, magic, live music, breath-taking illusion and a well known,

     captivating story! 

     Jump on board for a daring journey through the deep sea, far off lands, sunny

     beaches and crashing waves as this magical adaptation of the award-

     winning picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler unfolds in

     spectacular technicolour. 

     This snail may be small, but she's determined to see the world - so she

     hitches a lift on the tail of an enormous whale.  It's an unlikely partnership, but

     when the whale gets into difficulties he discovers just how good a friend a

     snail can be...
