Join us for this magical Christmas show for kids as we take you out to sea to meet a little whale...

Noi lives with his Dad and six cats by the sea. One summer, while his Dad was busy at work, Noi rescued a little whale that washed up on the beach. A friendship began that changed their lives forever.

The following winter his Dad takes one last trip on his fishing boat. Noi is alone once more and longs to see his friend again. He waits and watches, watches and waits…

Will it take another storm to bring them back together?

Benji Davies’ tender and heart-warming stories of loneliness, love and courage are brought to life as one magical piece of theatre from the team behind Grandad’s Island. Based on the award-winning books The Storm Whale and The Storm Whale in Winter by Benji Davies. Written and Directed by Matt Aston.
