Description

Tall Stories presents… The Snail and the Whale A play with music inspired by the book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler Join an adventurous young girl and her seafaring father as they reimagine the story of a tiny snail’s incredible trip around the world, inspired by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s much-loved picture book. Longing to see the world, a tiny sea snail hitches a lift on the tail of a great big, grey-blue humpback whale. Together they go on an amazing journey, brought vividly to life through live music, storytelling and lots of laughs – but when the whale gets beached, how will the snail save him? A heart-warming adventure for everyone aged four and up, from Tall Stories, the Olivier Award-nominated company that brought you ‘The Gruffalo’ and ‘Room on the Broom’ live on stage. “There’s real charm in this production.” - The Scotsman “Faultless family fare” - WhatsonStage.com

The Albany is proud of its home at the beautiful Art Deco theatre in the heart of Coventry and the new studio space staging inhouse and professional touring dance, drama, music and comedy productions. From exquisite professional ballet companies to fun-packed tribute acts, local community shows to spectacular OffBroadway hits, The Albany’s two theatres play host to dance, drama, music and comedy events both large and small. The beautiful Art Deco main house theatre is now joined by a brand-new studio space and the new foyer entrance into the spectacular building includes a bar, convivial meeting area and box office with plans to develop the space further to include a café and gallery. The theatre is now a thriving arts venue. Run as a charity by a professional core staff with assistance from a team of volunteers, the Arts for Life initiative has a burgeoning reputation for providing visitors and local communities alike with a flourishing theatre and music scene that promises to make a valued contribution to Coventry’s UK City of Culture status.
