You may not be able to actually catch a whale but, at The Warren on the Beach in Brighton, you can catch an Olivier award-winning cast bring a seafaring tale to life, when the stage production of Julia Donaldson’s much-loved picture-book is performed from 13th to 30th August (excluding 24th August).
Join an adventurous young girl, and her seafaring father, as they reimagine the story of a tiny snail’s incredible trip around the world.
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.
Running until 30th August, The Warren on the Beach is situated on Brighton Beach, next to the Volks Railway Aquarium Station, offering up another few weeks of theatre, cabaret, comedy and family shows, alongside an outdoor stage, street food and bars.
The indoor-outdoor site is free to enter, allowing beach-goers to pop in for a drink at one of the sun-drenched bars, or check out free entertainment on the outdoor stage. Ticket buyers can enjoy the thrill of live entertainment within the COVID secure venue, The Oil Shed.
