The Snail and the Whale is an entertaining show about a woman reminiscing about her childhood and in particular her fond memories of her father’s bedtime stories.
Her favourite story as a child was the journey of the snail and the whale who set off around the world together. They help each other to survive in diverse surroundings from the tallest volcanoes to the deepest icebergs. Even penguin rookeries were recreated on this enchanting set. The stage was as colourful as the realms of a child's imagination, and managed to transform a little girl's bedroom into a wild ocean.
The experience of the young girl was played by an adult actor incredibly well. The role of the father was also touching well done and he appeared a wise and loving father. The obvious affection shown by the sea captain father towards his daughter, despite his long absences, was the sweetest part of the show.
The show was entertaining and engaging thanks to audience interaction, which kept things fun. Following the storyline they soon seized the chance to squirt their super soakers, just like the splash of whale’s tail, among the audience much to their delight. Every child also jumped at the chance to do a penguin impressions.The Snail and the Whale is an occasion for children to enjoy an extravagant story telling with wonderful acting and an excellent violin soundtrack.
