About the show
A Slow Tale is a puppet solo performance by Letaniko Theatre, following Moody, described as the slowest snail in the forest. Teased by others and facing life-threatening challenges, Moody must draw on the hidden power of his mind to find courage, kindness and friendship. Originally created by theatre company Danny and Dessi in Bulgaria and newly produced for the UK by Letaniko Theatre, the show carries a gentle message that with thought and care, anyone can go further than they imagined. It runs for 40 minutes at the Stephenson Theatre and is suitable for ages 3 and above.
Why see this show?
A warmly crafted puppet show for the very young, with a simple but genuinely kind message about slowness, courage and friendship. A lovely choice for small children encountering live theatre for the first time.
