Centrepointe Theatres’ audience will get the chance to see this inventive production in all its storytelling splendour, February 22, 2014 at 1 p.m. The latest collaboration between acclaimed children’s author Julia Donaldson and illustrator, Axel Scheffler, tells the tale of a tiny snail who longs to see the world, so she hitches a ride on the tail of a humpback whale. Together they go on an amazing journey, experiencing sharks and penguins, icebergs and volcanoes. But when the whale gets beached, how will the snail save him? Follow the tiny snail’s amazing journey, as seen through the eyes of an adventurous young girl and her seafaring father… In their unique family-friendly style, Tall Stories brings this enchanting story to live by weaving together theatrical storytelling, live music and stunning visuals.

The book was published to great acclaim in 2003, winning the 2004 Early Years award, the 2005 Blue Peter award and the 2007 Giverny award.
